The Ultimate Chase for the G.O.A.T. Diablo SV

The lengths taken to acquire ultra-rare vehicles are always extensive, but this story takes the cake. Grab some popcorn and wait til you hear the next level of car stalking that was required to secure this extremely rare 1/20 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV Monterey Edition in a one-off color, Giallo Perlato.

25 minutes went by so fast...I could of listened for at least an hour, amazing story as always.

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you for the MASSIVE compliment.

[@FishNole121]

Couldn't agree more. You could seriously start an automotive education program and I would gladly participate as the first student! So much information and attention to the details. Well done!

[@team3383]

Its a nice car but a pity Americans have such bad taste when it comes to chrome wheels .... Alloy wheels are made to LIGHTWEIGHT and then Americans have to be better and look cooler and ADD weight by having them chromed ... Not only does it look gawdy, but its shows utter lack of knowledge. If you polish aluminium it actually shines ... (but you have to polish it.... No good for McD eating afficionados).

At this stage you almost have to keep it now. 1 of 1 colour, 10+ plus years of stalking, one off call that actually lead to something, that's one hell of story!

[@mattking5514]

We will 100% eventually need the Vik K story

[@details78]

My first thought was "Hey, kind of a longer video for Curated". I settled in to watch, and the next thing I knew 25 minutes had gone by. One of the best stories yet.

[@ferrynpalmer3875]

"I believe you own this car, spec'd this way".....gave me goosebumps for some reason!

[@GonzaloBarge]

How this channel doesn't have 100 k already, this stories/video edit are so good.

[@gordythecreator]

Cause we have the 1%'rs taste. Other 99% of ppl will follow, in about 5-10yrs.

[@prasad530]

The stories are good, but it's John that has that X factor as a presenter that many channels lack.

[@DavidRachfordFitness]

Yes, this one is next level!

[@ThomasSeeds]

@@gordythecreator that’s exactly how I thought about it too, we’re the real die hard car people that notice things first. Once people realize what they’ve been missing they’ll come by the thousands

[@retrorewind6042]

Because most people care about modern hypercars and super cars. Those cars are cool, but the old school super cars are where its at. Id take a zonda over huayra any day, or an f40 over a modern ferrari. These old cars are more analog and pure. They might be built poorly like the old ferraris maybe but they have more soul and emotion than the dead sounding turbo v8s the 488 has etc. the old cars have more charm in my opinion

[@justinvandermolen5705]

John I know you may never see this but I just need to say thank you. Im speechless after this story. I know you probably don't need to make youtube videos but I am so thankful you do because I probably will never get to own an exotic but I have goosebumps listening to this and it really makes others feel part of something so special

One of the best episodes yet, production value and story telling is blockbuster level. That SV reminded me of NFS on the Playstation 1. EPICCC. Really want to see it next to your Jota.

Absolutely can no wait to hear more on this! Y'alls passion is so enjoyable to listen too.. I'm this way with Datsuns headed out tomorrow to add a 20k mile 67 roadster to the humble collection Cheers

[@onkouth]

Your passion for Lamborghini’s is definitely verging on an obsession and for that, we as car guys are eternally grateful, it is people like you that has kept many of the worlds greatest cars so beautifully preserved. If I ever find myself in the fortunate position to buy such a car I want it to be a Countach 5000QV and from your collection, in that way I I will know I am getting the best and very likely one with an amazing back story. Love to ‘We are Curated’ from a big fan in Northern Ireland 🇮🇪

[@timanderson9631]

What a great story - I could've listened for another 25 minutes! Thank you for your passion and for keeping these magnificent cars on the road!

[@jmhofmeyr]

Going back and watching the beginning of the video AFTER hearing the story just made sense and really made me see the car differently. Good music also.

[@shazmaster]

man. thanks for the story, next level articulate and it was a trip. IT shows that hard work and tenacity goes a long way. Great to hear that the guy recognized that and was able to eventually sell the car. Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.

I too am absofreakinlutely in LOOOOOVE with Lamborghini Diablo SVs, and this is by far THEEEEE greatest automotive story ever told on KZbin, IMO! Still to this day, I think the Diablo SV, and GT models are the best looking exotic cars ever made. I'd love to have a 1999 model. Back in the day of the first 'Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit' video game, a yellow Diablo SV was my car of choice that I used almost EVERY time to race with. I'm really looking forward to seeing videos of the arrival of this beauty. Congrats, John!

[@SteveHollimon]

Congratulations on finding and purchasing such a great Diablo example! The Lamborghini Diablo SV Monterey Edition is one of my favorites. I also remember seeing this Lamborghini Diablo SV on the show call "Running of the Bulls" and on the Lambo-Power site. The rosso vik (candle apple red) Diablo SV Monterey Edition driven by Mario Andretti for the show was my favorite color from the Lamborghini Diablo SV Monterey Edition examples.
