Lamborghini Diablo

Following the success of its Countach in the 1980s, Lamborghini introduced its replacement, the Diablo, in 1990. At a time when Ferraris were becoming more civilised, the Diablo was the epitome of a super car.

Whilst all Diablos are pretty impractical, with interiors that cannot always be described as attractive or sophisticated, it is these traits, plus the roar of the V12 engine, the awful rear visibility and the swing up doors that are the trademark of a Diablo and part of its appeal.

As with all new models, initial teething troubles occurred and whilst these were quickly ironed out, it is worth buying the newest model you can afford to try to avoid some of these.

A well cared for early model will set you back about £45,000, a 1994 Diablo VT Coupe around £60,000 and a 1996 SV model starts at around £70,000. SE30s are very scarce indeed and are, therefore, difficult to find but offer great investment potential.

However, if you are lucky enough to come across one you will need to set aside somewhere in the region of £80,000 and for a 2001 Diablo 6.0 you will need to spend about £120,000. With Diablos the provenance, condition and service record are all-important, much more so that the actual age of the car.
