12 cylinders, 12,000 miles: I drive my Lambo Diablo SV in all weathers

The odometer in Peter Dietsch’s right-hand drive, UK-registered Lamborghini Diablo reads 83,000, but that’s kilometres, not miles.

Bizarrely, while the speedos in most pre-1999 Diablos were calibrated in both MPH and KPH, as required by law, their odos always displayed the distance the car had travelled in kilometres. That’s why, when I ask Peter how many miles he has done in his, he replies, rather confusingly, “20,000 kilometres”. Before I can get my calculator out, he helpfully provides the conversion: “12,000 miles.”
