    I got to show my F40 at a local Italian car show this weekend, then went for a blast into the mountains. What an incredible experience. The enthusiasm for the F40 was overwhelming and it had a crowd around it the entire day, even more so than the LaF and Enzo also in attendance. Enjoy these pictures: Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Just be aware as this car has not been officially exported on the dvla register, and is just listed as sorn then there are a number of dubious characters now this info is in the public domain who could attempt to obtain a copy of the V55 for cloning purposes. It is scarily easy to do. There is currently a blue F40 in the UK looking for a new identity! and no doubt a few more around the world.

    They are classed as show plates, lots of companies can make them for you, but they do not conform to the UK law so you may get pulled by the police if you fit them.

    i had the same sticker plate on my f40 and then also on my swiss registered 360cs.
    neither was legal, but, better than no plate at all.

    All Diablos are still bargains for what you get....in my case, where else can you get a classic feel, mid-mounted V12 with a manual transmission, and a removable roof that ignite all your senses and is also a great design (sorry Murcielago) all for $250k or less? Even the doors are fun....

    Outside of a Miura the Diablo is my favorite Lambo. I had an SV many years ago and for too short a time. I will get another some day.
