Description
Furlonger are pleased to offer this Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, one of a handful allocated to the U. K. market, and just 32 produced in right-hand drive. Chassis no. 126642 was delivered new via Lamborghini London in 1997, configured in Titanio over a Rosso interior, the same specification it wears today. According to a trusted registry, this VT Roadster is 1 of just 16 right-hand drive examples with pop-up headlights, and the only example ever configured in this colour combination.
Chassis no. 126642 has been used sparingly over the course of its life, passing through the hands of likeminded collectors who’ve sought to enjoy the car, but ensured its mechanical preparation and condition remain to the highest standard. Today, the car presents excellently in all regards, which is a testament to the careful ownership and adequate storage conditions the car has seen.
Accompanying this Diablo VT Roadster is its original set of manuals, leather document wallet, and even its original bill of sale. Further, the car’s maintenance history is exceptionally well-documented via its stamped service handbook and comprehensive history file containing numerous invoices and receipts. Chassis no. 126642 retains an excellent service history, with its periodic servicing and mechanical preparation entrusted to both Lamborghini main dealers and respected marque specialist Mike Pullen of Carrera Sport. Furlonger workshops will conduct a comprehensive service as part of the car’s sale.
Showing just 12, 600 miles, this Diablo Roadster would make a fine addition to any collection of rare Lamborghinis or low production supercars. The Diablo has remained ‘under the radar’ for longer than it should, with extremely low production numbers, especially in right-hand drive. With a mere handful residing in the U. K. today, these cars are quickly becoming a staple of the very best collections, leading to values increasing drastically every year. These cars are arguably exceptional value for money when compared to the prices of their rivals, therefore it would be wise to acquire one sooner rather than later.
