2001: Diablo VT $499K ($au),
still cheap at the price.
2000: The covers come off the new Diablo 6
in Melbourne.
The big news is a price reduction from nearly $600,000 for the Diablo VT
in 1999 down to $455,000 for the new car (I'll have two).
The reasons are said to be improvements in
the exchange rate of the $au v. the lira,
and reduced Australian duty and margins.

The 2000 Diablo has a revised 6-litre V12 engine

than before.
It is said to accelerate from 0-100km/h in under 4 seconds.

Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
