We are delighted to offer this very rare Lamborghini Diablo SV-R Race Car for sale the only one in the UK and a unique piece of Italian brands motorsport history. One of only 31 SV-R's officially built at the Automobili Lamborghini SpA factory in 1996 and one of only 4 painted in the launch colour Giallo/Yellow. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1996 the Diablo SV-R is a lightweight competition version of the SV road car version and the very first Lamborghini model run to be officially built for motorsport purpose.
This particular SV-R chassis number ending LA12569 No: 08/31 took part in all three seasons of the Supertrophy series and was owned by Lease Plan from new, who hired it to a number of drivers in 1996-97 it was driven by Rob Peacock and George Von Opel and then was one of several SV-R's used by Fabio Santaniello to win the championship in 1997. Originally painted in Red it was then repainted Giallo/Yellow which it served in most of its competitive life in and remains today.
From 1998 to 2000 the SV-R LA12569 was raced in the French GT series FFSA championship at selective circuit such as Le Mans, Magny-Cours, Nogaro, Ledenon and Dijon. It was run by a Swiss based race team Auto Vitesse No: 38 and was driven by a number of drivers which included Ferdinand De Lesseps and Christophe d'Ansembourg a regular driving paring in this series in period.
In early 2002 the SV-R LA12569 was sold and imported from Europe to the USA and was purchased by a former IMSA and GTP driver and was used at some national open sport car events in 2003 and 2004. Since then, it had not been entered in any competitive events and only took part on selective track days and had been professional stored throughout its time in the USA. Combined with regular maintenance and servicing had been carried out on the SV-R in recent years by a Lamborghini Specialist in Southern California USA which included a new fuel delivery system to be fitted with new pumps/filters and lines along with a new alternator and all fluids and oils changed. The current owner purchased the SV-R LA12569 in 2017 and imported the race car into the UK covering all import and tax duties in the process. This is the only Lamborghini Diablo SV-R in the UK at this moment in time as far as we know and has been stored professional since it arrived here and maintained with a new battery just fitted and major engine service work including new oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new clutch linkage rod fitted which has just been carried out in April/May of 2021 by Lamborghini factory trained technician using factory approved parts.
