1971 Lamborghini Jarama Rare, Best Options, Only 28k Miles, Same Owner 33 Years! on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:27000
Location:

Gaylordsville, Connecticut, United States

Gaylordsville, Connecticut, United States

1971 Lamborghini Jarama, red with tan interior, only 27,937 miles.  Numbers matching chassis and motor. Only 177 examples of the Jarama were produced between 1970 and 1973, which makes this a very rare car. The engine is a 4 liter V-12 fitted with six Weber carburetors that produces 350 horsepower at 7500 rpm. Combined with a 5 speed transmission, the Jarama drives fast and sounds great, with a top speed over 150 miles per hour. This early Jarama is the most desirable configuration sought by knowledgeable collectors because it was fitted with Miura-type knock off wheels, and a leather dash instead of the plastic dash found on later Jaramas. It was also fitted with the desirable fold-down rear seatbacks, which can convert the car into a 2 seater!  This particular car was owned by the same family for almost 35 years, from 1980 until 2013. Once purchased a light recommissioning was done, including cleaning the carburetors, redoing the brakes, and installing a new exhaust center section. At the present time the car runs well, but it has not been driven a lot. Cosmetically here are the flaws-  the paint has some cracking in it, and there is a   mismatch of the paint detectable in the rockers where some minor rust was properly repaired by cutting it out and replacing it with new metal- now there is no rust on the car. The interior is very nice with soft leather. The correct gas cap is missing. And the windshield has a few small bubbles in the glass. Other than these flaws, this is a very nice example of a rare Lamborghini that with a little work to become an excellent example throughout.
 
A reputable West Coast dealer recently sold a Jarama needing a full restoration for approx. $75,000 on the first day it was advertised.  My car is in far better condition, and my reserve isn't much more. There have also been two sales in Europe of nice Jaramas at approx. $175,000 and $180,000 US dollars- clearly the market is finally starting to appreciate Jaramas, especially when compared to the far higher prices other Lamborghini models from this era are bringing. 
 
The car is located in the northwestern corner of Connecticut, about 75 miles north of New York City.  If you have questions you can email me thru this website or call 860-350-1140. I have a page with more photos of the car- please got to forzamotorsports with the usual dot com ending. Buyer pays for shipping but I can help arrange transport to your door.  International buyers welcome. Thank you for viewing my listing.

Lamborghini Aventador art car features every color of the rainbow

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

With a catalog packed with shades of orange and yellow, the Lamborghini Aventador doesn't shy away from bright colors. But the stock palette still pales in comparison to this latest art car.
This technicolor Aventador Roadster was created by Franco-American artist and musician Duaiv, who previously applied his talents to Ferraris like the FF and 458 Spider. Lamborghini Miami, a division of Prestige Imports in North Beach, Florida, applied the evidently very successful artist's painting to a vinyl wrap and fitted to the Lambo along with a Novitec rear spoiler to create a one-of-a-kind supercar that is anything but a sleeper. You know, just in case an Aventador didn't already stand out enough.

Lamborghini Concept S up for auction in New York

Sun, Jul 12 2015

Reach back a decade into your supercar memory banks and you may recall that in 2005, Lamborghini rolled in to the Geneva Motor Show with a dramatic Gallardo speedster concept. That was the Concept S, designed by Luc Donckerwolke long before he shifted over to (and subsequently left) the Bentley design department. It packed all the cutting-edge angular design of the Gallardo coupe that had just debuted the year before, but predated the emergence of the Gallardo Spyder that followed the next. The Concept S featured more radical bodywork that bisected the open cockpit, with a pair of low-profile wind deflectors instead of a single-frame windshield. Sort of like the Aventador J concept from a few years ago, but in a more compact (and relatively more stylistically restrained) form. The original show car wasn't a runner, but it proved such a hit that Lamborghini made a second one – this time fully functional with V10 power – and brought it to Pebble Beach that summer. The static model is still on display at the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata, and we took our time ogling it while in town for the opening of the new Trigeneration plant last week, but the runner was sold to a private collector, and now it's set to cross the auction block as part of RM Sotheby's upcoming sale in Manhattan. The auction house expects that it'll fetch between $2.4 and 3 million, and given this particular model's rarity, we don't doubt it'll command every penny, if not more. After all, the Veneno went for more than that, and as scarce as that crazy hypercar was (and remains still), between the coupes and roadsters, Lambo made a baker's dozen of those. In fact, the Concept S stands to set a new record for the highest amount ever paid for a Lamborghini at auction, which according to Sports Car Market was set in 2009 when a Reventon sold online for $2.5 million. The Reventon was a more dramatically styled version of the Murcielago and precursor of the Aventador, of which 21 were made. So just imagine how much collectors might prove willing to spend on the one-of-a-kind Concept S.

Lamborghini to celebrate 50th Anniversary with new model

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Lamborghini is planning to roll out a new car for the brand's 50th anniversary. Automotive News Europe reports the Italian automaker will unveil a special one-off machine to commemorate the date next year. CEO Stepahn Winkelmann has been tight-lipped about the vehicle, saying coyly, "It will not be a revival or a retro." Fortunately, with 2013 right around the corner, we shouldn't have to wait long to see what Lamborghini has up its sleeves for the special car.
The company has other big plans for the celebration and has reportedly invited owners to ship their cars to Milan, where they will then parade through Tuscany, Rome and Bologna before arriving at the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese.
It's a good time for a party. Lamborghini has seen strong sales through 2012 despite the faltering European economy, and the Aventador coupe and roadster each have an 18-month waiting list.
