Spectators’ Comments:

• @yellowferrari77: “I owned 2 Diablos in the past and nothing gave me the experience of what the Diablo gives so after 13 years I got another one. The power, the noise it produces, all Diablos are gonna just go up and up. Find one now before they start at $500k for a ’91/’93. This is a beautiful example.”
• @meandmyredferrari: “Steve restored my Scuro Blue ’99 Roadster and my 2001 Chiaro Blue Burtoni car. Steve did an amazing job on both. Not cheap but the best. These cars are going to be million-dollar cars sooner than later, especially the roadsters and 6.0s. I personally like both over the Ferrari F40 that is $3 million now.”
• @DiabloClyde: “Roy is an excellent seller with a strong reputation. This car is well-sorted (as mine is), and the Roadster variant with open top, visceral and melodious sounds and visibility all makes owning these a dream come true.”
• @Bibendum5: “86 hours to service basically the top end of the engine. 2&1/2 weeks full-time work. I have a ’91 and I’m sweating a major service now, although this example had leaking oil and coolant. Should be no-worries headache-free on this example. Well done.”
• @Sledge4.2: “Wow, all the big work done, valve lash, clutch, injectors, this is ready to be driven. Amazing car, great spec, major service done, this is the ONE!”
