I started looking for a Challenge Stradale last summer when Brian Albertson at Exotic Car Search showed me a 99 Diablo SV. It wasn’t an F-car and it didn’t drive as well as the CS, but the sheer drama around the SV made me feel like a 10 year old again. Decision made then.

 

Not so quick. It took nearly a year of going back and forth with Jeff (the owner, he is an LP member) via Brian in the middle to convince him to sell the car to me. He was finally convinced last month and we signed the paper work nearly 11 months to the day that I had first seen the car.

 

Well the car was delivered today. In my excitement I turned a little dial on my camera that underexposed all the pictures – I know, how stupid can I be? Fmylife. We can always take more pictures later :-)

 

A few thanks before the picture:

- Jeff for agreeing to give his car to a good home

- Brian for dealing with me for a year and arranging the best car buying experience ever. If you’re in the market for an exotic give him a call for sure

- Todd Doty at Lambo Denver for the PPI

- Richard and Fernando at Competizione for their advice and reviewing the many pages of ECU read outs, service records, and compression test results

- DC area F-chatters

- LP and LT members

 

And without further ado, pictures:

Initially I had concerns about the car fitting in my garage – no problems getting in and out

Now I just have to register the car here and try not to lose my license ;-)

very nice rare car.

 

Looks great.

 

I'm glad it worked out and Brian was fantastic as always. I know it is in a good home and call or email me any time if you have any questions.

 

CONGRATS!

 

Jeff

No word of a lie that is the car I want to be in a position to buy within the next 5 years. Will you sell it to me? :D

 

Congratulations, beautiful car and I'm glad to see that it stayed in the LP family!
