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 makes wise investment, sponsors Italian State Police Sports Association

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Boot-shaped shaped Italy has been molded as much by it's Hollywood-fueled history of organized crime, as it has by its footwear-aping borders. One of the more peaceful methods used by that famous mafia is, of course, bribery. While we doubt the Cosa Nostra has planted "made men" in Sant'Agata Bolognese, based on the recent actions of Lamborghini, we do think the company might be bucking for leniency on Italian speeding tickets.
The supercar manufacturer has announced that it will sponsor the Fiamme Oro, the Italian State Police's sports association. Lambo will supply the Italian fuzz's athletes with winter and summer tracksuits, polos, jackets, hats and bags. Collezione Automobili Lamborghini, the company's lifestyle arm, designed the kit, which will feature both the iconic raging bull logo as well as the State Police's logo.
Of course, we jest about Lambo's involvement with the Italian State Police, but this has been a long-running arrangement dating back to the first Gallardo police car, back in 2004. With this new arrangement, and the donation of a new Huracán police car, we feel confident that Lamborghini owners should enjoy free reign on the country's auto stradas.

Translogic 152: Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Translogic host Jonathon Buckley heads to Circuito Ascari in Ronda, Spain to check the tech on the all-new Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4. For this Lamborghini, good things comes in threes: three driving modes, three gyroscopes and three accelerometers. Can all this technology combine with a 610-horsepower V10 to help Huracán surpass its predecessor, Lamborghini's best-selling Gallardo? Watch now to find out.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster priced from $441,600 for US

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

European pricing for the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster was released when the model was officially introduced early this week, but we had to wait a few extra days to see how much customers over here should expect to pay for the topless supercar. Now, Lamborghini has announced that US-bound versions of its new roadster will run $441,600, which doesn't include the $3,700 gas-guzzler tax, meaning the Aventador Roadster will wear a base MSRP of at least $445,300.
As a refresher, this new roadster is a topless version of the 700-horsepower, all-wheel-drive Aventador, and it features a two-piece removable top made of carbon fiber (each weighing in at around 13 pounds) that can be stored in the front trunk. Performance figures include a 0-60 time of under three seconds and a top speed of 217 miles per hour. Lamborghini is currently taking orders for the Aventador Roadster with the car set to go on sale next summer.
