1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV Monterey Edition

Any guess on final sale price? -Kevin

Good question It's Alan from LAX former car, #15. The service records and repaint discussion is very interesting. Don't really understand the engine rebuild, didn't need it. Money would have been better spent for OEM PPG paint for the repaint, original color was gorgeous. But for a mechanically sound SV, even if its not quite original due to the lackluster repaint, could be a good buy. At the right price, sending it to Driven Exotics for a proper paint job could make sense.

The last SV (with 10 owners) bid up to $210k. I hope this gets more!

Roy Cats at Cat's Exotics has a good condition one at $305,000, so I would say definitely no more than that.

are the gold screws on the wheels OEM treatment?

 

[PHXDIABLO]

Gold on the outer little bolts are OEM but center lug bolts and cap were silver and black, looked like mismatched jewelry. When I refurbed SV ME #2 in 2013 I had Driven Exotics make it all match, cost me a grand a -1 point at Concorso, and 2nd place

Also the discussion on the "SV graphics" cracks me up A Monterey Ed SV, unless you own one, do not judge the SV "graphics"

[PHXDIABLO]

This car is the twin to mine for sale. I have to say, without question my TWO OWNER car is probably he finest SV ME car in the USA...if not just plain old the finest late year DIABLO IT needs NOTHING and has tons off historical documents and everything fresh OEM from the factory when it left Italy.

Well then a strong value on BaT should help your car sell! Agree that your car looks 10X better without the big questions on "repaint/rebuild".

Roy, how or where can you get chrome wheels restored? My roadster needs that done. Thanks in advance.

the start up video sounds like my Fiat 500.

Does anyone here have a picture of the car prior to the re-paint?

yes

 

[ARANCIOBULL]

Thanks. I'm not familiar with "ocean blue" but it appears to have been repainted in the correct shade. I'm a fan of original paint when possible just as much as any other purist and collector, but what's the concern here? That the quality of the re-paint is sub-par?

yes View attachment 291637

The car as currently presented on BAT looks greener...

 

[DiabloClyde]

The ocean around the Phi Phi islands of Thailand is green, so maybe the painter was from Thailand 😜
