This particular Diablo was originally registered in Dubai by its first owner, then shipped to California and subsequently brought to the UK. When the current owner purchased the Lamborghini in 1999 it had only 6,700 miles recorded on the odometer, so in the first six years of its life had covered more miles at sea than on land!
The car was inspected for the current owner in 1999 by Lamborghini specialists Carrera Sport (Mike Pullen), who confirmed the excellent condition while also making a note of the carbon fibre engine surround (a standard feature on the later models). Other noteworthy features include a sports exhaust system and a MoMo steering wheel (original with car).

This car is part of a small private collection and has been looked after mainly by Carrera Sport. Recent works have included fitted a new crown wheel/pinion (within the last 300 miles) and changing the original clutch at the same time (see £10,220 bill on file). Mike Pullen/Carerra Sport can be contacted to verify the Diablo's history and condition. The current odometer reading is 34,851 kilometres (approximately 21,600 miles).
'D12 BLO' was entered in the Lamborghini Club GB Concours d'Élégance on one occasion, winning the 'Pride of Ownership' award, and was featured in the studio (not driven) on BBC Television's 'Top Gear' motoring programme when the Murciélago LP640 was launched. This car also features on the soundtrack of the Xbox game 'Juiced 2', though the professional sound recording equipment was unable to cope with the mighty V12 engine when the revs exceeded 4,500! The recording session was conducted at the Austec Racing rolling road facility where a power run the same day confirmed that all 500 horses were still available.

All 1999-onwards MoT certificates are in the comprehensive history file, and the car also comes with all handbooks, an original brochure, driving gloves, and a tailor-made Lamborghini car cover. One of the finest Diablos currently available, this car - offered with its most appropriate 'D12 BLO' registration - represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a little used, limited edition example of one of the defining supercars of its era. .
