not sure if you are serious about those 2 actual cars but if the 1st has "200 miles" run the other way !

i looked at this car and it is a rebuilt fire car AND the dealer opted not to mention it...

as for which to go for, the ONLY reason (in my humble opinion) to go early is cos you want 2 wheel drive (as i did)

good luck

Default early model

My personal opinion is that I would go for the early model , I would say its the original design by Gandini. It Has more personality. Go for the Original Design.

it depends on your preference, the 6.0 is easier on the muscles to drive, but the more original models were harder and straeneous in everyday driving, so your choice. keep in mind the older ones are cheaper to buy and other factors like insurance is also cheaper.

I own a 91 that was completely restored to perfect condition with all of the problems solved. I love the car and the fact that it is one of the first of it's kind is a great feeling. It will be part of my collection for a long time. My next one will be a 2001 or Murci.

.
all true
and also you have to know the 6.0 has more power, more torque, better handling ....
the 91 are aniway lighter and 2wd, less refined car, no power steering: someone like to drive them more because the "old school feeling"

p.s. the 6.0 is more expensive but from a collector point of view could become one of most desirable diablo (last model,great performance, many improvments, very few made), i don't see 91 going up in value in the same way anytime soon

Everyone raves over the 6.0. Only one problem...No Marcello Gandini Sig. Apparently he gave it a thumbs down. That's a big deal to me.

i like the 6.0 design changes and i believe it will always be one of most expensive diablos, as the VT roadster because of the great looking and the little production numbers
oterwise i personally prefer 2wd lighter diablos, in this order:
1-GT
2- SE 30
3- SV
4- 91 2wd
