Victoria’s Secret-ийн сурталчилгаанд ашиглагдаж байсан ховор загварын автомашиныг олон жилийн эрэл хайгуулын дараа олж илрүүлэн, сэргээн засварлахаар болжээ.
VINWiki-ийн үүсгэн байгуулагч Ed Bolian 1998 оны Lamborghini Diablo SV загварыг олон жилийн турш хайсны эцэст 2025 онд олж илрүүлсэн байна. Уг автомашин нь 2011 онд дуудлага худалдаагаар зарагдсанаас хойш бүртгэл, даатгалын мэдээллийн сангаас алга болж, 14 жилийн хугацаанд сураггүй байжээ.
Уг ховор хүлгийг Чикаго хотын ойролцоох жижиг хотын хувийн онгоцны ангараас олсон байна. Гэвч 2026 оны зургаадугаар сард тус бүс нутагт хүчтэй хар салхи дэгдэж, автомашин хадгалагдаж байсан ангар бүрэн сүйджээ.
Аз болоход, Lamborghini Diablo SV нь бага зэргийн гэмтэл авсан ч бүрэн бүтэн үлдэж чадсан байна. Ed Bolian уг автомашиныг худалдан авч, Жоржиа муж руу тээвэрлэн сэргээн засварлах ажлыг эхлүүлжээ. Хэрэв илрүүлэлт хэдхэн долоо хоногоор хойшилсон бол энэхүү түүхэн автомашин бүрмөсөн устах эрсдэлтэй байв.

This guy had to rush from Georgia to Illinois to save a rare 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV.
The Lamborghini Diablo is rare to begin with, and the Diablo SV is even rarer.
In a way, this guy did a service to the automotive world.
But it wasn’t easy, and the car barely made it.
What makes this Diablo SV even more special
Ed Bolian, co-founder of VINWiki, was trying to track down a rare 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV that was famously featured in (and sold through) the Victoria’s Secret Christmas catalog that year.
Bolian had been searching for this unique car for years, but it had essentially disappeared after being sold atauction in 2011, it had vanished from public records with no registration or insurance updates for 14 years.
Then, much later and with the help of a guy whose nickname is ‘barn find king’, the 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV was eventually tracked down in 2025.
But there was a problem, mainly because this Lambo was months or maybe weeks away from becoming a write-off.
The Victoria’s Secret Lamborghini barely survived a tornado
The Victoria’s Secret Lamborghini Diablo SV was eventually located in private airport hangar insmall town in Illinois about one hour away from Chicago.
So far, so normal.
Bolian and his team were expecting rust, dust, saggy tires – the usual.
But then, in June 2026, a series of tornadoes struckthis town and the exact hangar where the Lamborghini had sat for 14 years was destroyed in the storm.
The Lambo was bruised and damaged but, amazingly, it was still in one piece.
Bolian was able to find the car and buy it, and then he managed to bring it back to Georgia to restore it.
At the time of writing, the Victoria’s Secret Lambo is in great shape.
But a few more weeks, or maybe even days, of hesitation could’ve sealad its fate.
