Lamborghini is one of best auto-makers out there who have done fairly well under the leadership of Volkswagen Group. With the help of VW's resources, the company could develop high quality cars as the company was committed to the Lamborghini brand name for a long time. However, it would be unfair to say that pre-VW days were not just as glorious for the Italian carmaker.

Lamborghini Diablo, one of the most sought after cars to be manufactured by anyone, it was also the last one to be designed by the company before VW took over. 1999 Diablo SV is all set to be sold at Silverstone Auctions scheduled to take place next month at Practical Classics Restoration and Classic Car Show in the United Kingdom.

On December 21, 1999, this was the last car to leave Sant'Agata Bolognese on December 21, 1999, soon before the factory was closed for the Christmas holidays. As year 2000 rolled, VW was all set to acquire the Italian carmakers replacing their "magic of Italy" with "Teutonic efficiency," as mentioned by the auction press release for a dramatic effect, says Motor Authority

Diablo SV is built with a right-hand drive configuration and has only been driven for 32,000 miles from the time it was bought, said the seller. Available in Pearl Red/Orange, it comes equipped with black/grey leather interiors. Diablo SV was one of the few cars that came with rear-wheel drive.

Apart from the chassis and suspension work done on the car in 2013, it is mostly original. It has undergone service and has already gone through the MOT inspection in UK to check for its road-use status. The seller also added that the car has an original tool kit.

Silverstone Auctions is expecting to fetch between £150,000 - £170,000. The auction is slated to happen on 6^th March, reported Fox News
