1997 Lamborghini Diablo Navigation
This 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster designed by Marcello Gandini left the Sant'Agata factory at the end of 1996 in the color scheme of Blue Chiaro over cream white bolsters with matching blue center leather seats. In the summer of 1997, it was delivered new to California. During the first five years of its existence, it spent time in California, New Mexico and Nevada and accumulated under 2000 kilometers a year. In August of 2002, it was sent to the East Coast, residing in Virginia and Florida until 2004 when it was acquired by its current caretaker from Virginia. Since then, over $163,000 have been spent on regular and systematic maintenance. It has also received performance and cosmetic enhancements including color-matched three-piece 19-inch HRE wheels, Sebring Tuning exhaust, carbon fiber instrument cluster and center console covers, upgraded Pioneer sound system with head unit mounted screen and back-up camera, and a screen mounted in front of the passenger. Blue fire extinguishers have been mounted just behind the passengers.

Currently the car has 37,788 km on its odometer.
