Lamborghini Diablo
Compare the Diablo SE30, Jota, GT, and VT 6.0 SE, with buying checks and documented auction results.
What to check before buying
Start with the build sheet and delivery paperwork. On an SE30 Jota, establish who supplied and fitted the kit and when. Check the engine and clutch history, especially where a car has changed markets.
RM Sotheby’s cites the original build sheet for SE30 Jota chassis ending 12132. The published £1.3 million London asking price for a different SE30 is an asking observation. Use confirmed sales when comparing transactions.
Documented auction results
If you’re deciding what to offer, start with transactions for cars of similar specification and history. Check the sale date, condition, and whether the price included buyer’s premium.
