Also front guards.

That naked CF wing, if original, is a US$14k part now!

Thankfully he didn't move the fuel flap, as that would have been a major job.

Interior is standard early VT with a different pattern in the upholstery.

For the lights, you need the looms, motors, modules and of course lights.

I've seen that car for sale for a long time. On that basis alone you should be able to negotiate a decent price.

Being of a curious nature I am wondering if it would be possible to buy one and title it in Malaysia? I assume you may need to own property or in some way have a presence in Malaysia to do it but Malaysia is dirt cheap compared to Singapore and just a bridge away?

It seems Singapore makes it quite hard (not to mention hideously expensive) to be a car enthusiast. One of many reasons I do not live on an island :D

Hi there,

The car is mine, I bought it like this some time back. The original body parts are not with the car anymore and in my opinion that would be a very expensive job to get done. You could take a look at sites like lambostuff they might have something available but it is going to cost you an arm and a leg, not even mentioning the shipping.

Maybe the previous owner has an idea where the original parts went(I can give you his number) or the guy who sprayed the car(Ah Long, from the Lamborghini damage repair, upstairs Eurosports)

There is 1 more diablo in Singapore and that is an SV so you most likely have to import parts if you want to restore it to original. It is a 20 year old car and 1 of 2 in Singapore.

As for servicing the car that's has been done by Eurosports (Lambo dealer) so that shouldn't be much of an issue.

As for the mechanicals, no issues except for the battery that drains( need to keep it on a trickle charger),my suspison is that it is for the most part the alarm system.

New clutch, new cooling hoses etc. All receipts from Eurosports available. Keep in mind that if you have to sent it there it is not going to be cheap.

I sent you an pm, so just give me a call

Finally I now own the one and the only diablo VT in my country. I have spent a lot of time tracking the ex ex ex owner contacts in order to find the original parts. Rey is definitely very helpful and provide all the details . I am glad that I have found some of the original parts including rims.

Here it is in the workshop fixing some teething issues such as overheating - thermostat was removed and it was installed with a custom made gasket with the square hole Blocked ! ( I have ordered the Behr thermostat and will cut a paper gasket) . Some leaking in the hose and radiators so I am fixing that now . Other than that the car is running great . Only clocked 7k mileage !
