Ran When Parked: The Prince of UAE’s 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Craigslist and eBay sellers are often known for their cheek and/or optimism, but this British seller is taking things to a new level with this 1994 most-of-a Lamborghini Diablo.

Now, desirable cars can get pretty ridiculous. A ’69 Charger rolling shell can cost tens of thousands of dollars, but this Diablo is being offered for the eye-watering price of £100,000.

Admittedly the owner says that this car comes with 95% of its parts, so putting it all back together should be a breeze. Better yet, he predicts that a cool £5,000 should get you the rest of the parts, too.

I hate to be pessimistic, and I’m the first to admit that I know nothing about Lamborghini ownership, but I once drove by a dealership and they charged me more than £5,000 for the pleasure (which I thought was odd, because I wasn’t even in England).

But still, £100,000 is quite a discount for a Lambo, and this one has what the auctioneers like to call provenance, having once been owned by a nameless prince of the United Arab Emirates, so maybe it’s all well worth it.

Although he says he’s disheartened by the thought of restoring the Lamborghini, the owner says he’ll struggle through it, with the price rising as he goes and eventually reaching £200,000 when he’s done.

Maybe Ryan Tuerck will buy it before then and turn it into another drift car.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
