That's beautiful. There is something very elegant about the earliest Diablos.

I see it was on English number plates and had a Carrera Sport sticker in the window so I guess you purchased it from someone here in the UK?

I have my Diablo back now after its engine rebuild

The car was delivered new in Belgium, then moved to the UK to its second owner, who kept it for about 11 years. I have owned it since 2007.
During its stay in the UK, Mike at Carrera Sports did indeed look after it, and it would return there if I lived in the UK.

Thanks. Better hurry, this time next year you'll see prices rise by 20% or more ;-)

Met up with a buddy last night who has one of those flying GoPro setups. Did a few flybys, and then cooked up this video...

Turn up the volume or use headphones... Enjoy the pops & crackles on the overrun ;-)

As some people had asked to hear / see the acceleration inside the car, here is some footage I took the other day.
I made it with the iPhone, so it's pretty lousy as I had to keep the phone in hand while shifting gear and such
