Description

This extraordinarily rare right-hand drive Lamborghini Diablo Roadster, Chassis no. LA12654 was ordered and delivered new via Kingsway Cars, Hong Kong in 1997, in the desirable shade of Rosso Diablo, the same colour it still wears today.

Chassis no. LA12654 has spent the entirety of its life in Hong Kong until being acquired by Furlonger, and was shipped to the U.K. in late 2024. Now offered for sale, this Diablo Roadster is an enticing prospect to collectors and enthusiasts who wish to purchase an extremely rare variant of the Diablo guise. Showing just 35,000 kilometres from new, this car presents excellently in all regards.

Following the successful launch of our Furlonger Diablo ‘S’ Package, we are incredibly excited to announce that we are already undertaking the first of several orders, another right-hand drive Diablo Roadster. This significant yet faithful upgrade package will greatly enhance the usability, driving experience and ownership of the Diablo, without tampering with the car’s original essence. The upgrade includes, but is not limited to; new lightweight performance exhaust system with upgraded manifolds, upgraded external lighting system incorporating original lenses, remote central locking with ‘welcome home’ lighting, remote door opening, electric power steering (for early cars), 18’’ wheels in original style with large discs and callipers (for early cars), new suspension with lifting system, interior retrim including extensive sound proofing for cabin, upgraded audio and media system to include Apple CarPlay. Further, a range of customisable restoration options are available. Chassis no. LA12654 would be a suitable donor car should the purchaser wish to commission the ‘S’ upgrade package.

Showing just 35,000 kilometres, this Diablo Roadster would make a fine addition to any collection of rare Lamborghinis or low production supercars. The Diablo has remained ‘under the radar’ for longer than it should, with extremely low production numbers, especially in right-hand drive. With a mere handful residing in the U.K. today, these cars are quickly becoming a staple of the very best collections, leading to values increasing drastically every year. These cars are arguably exceptional value for money when compared to the prices of their rivals, therefore it would be wise to acquire one sooner rather than later.
