VIN: Claudia Rahman's 1 of 1 Lamborghini Diablo chassis NLA12584
History of chassis NLA12584
Chassis NLA12584 was a one-off example of the original rear-wheel drive Diablo commissioned by London-domiciled Lebanese interior designer, Claudia Rahman.
Reputedly painted to match Rahman’s favourite nail varnish, NLA12584 was configured in the unique shade of Viola Speciale (also described as Fuchsia Magenta Pearl) while the interior was finished with a mix of contrasting Bianco and Blu upholstery.
NLA12584 was delivered via Lamborghini’s British distributor, Portman in London, and registered J993 CYR during January 1992. It was the fifth Diablo delivered to the UK and one of five consecutively registered Lamborghinis (J991 CYR to J995 CYR).
Soon after delivery, Claudia Rahman had Portman install a second servo to provide a lighter clutch mechanism.
The car is pictured here at the Silverstone Historic Festival in 1992 and at the Portman service centre in 1993.
