1984 – Lamborghini Jalpa P350, Chassis No. ZA9J00000ELA12183 Canadian

“Lamborghini’s exclusivity, Bertone’s elegance and the thrill of a V8 in the open air” Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1981, the Lamborghini Jalpa continued the lineage of the Urraco and Silhouette, with the aim of offering a sports car that was more accessible and easier to drive than the spectacular Countach. Designed by Bertone, its bodywork combines the taut lines characteristic of the era with a removable roof, allowing the driver to fully enjoy the sound of its naturally aspirated V8. According to the brand’s historian, Olivier Namèche, our example left the factory in Sant’Agate Bolognese in 1984. Configured for the European market, it was eventually shipped to New Jersey by Modena Cars via Rarewala, the company that ran Lamborghini of North America alongside Trefor Thomas. Several letters of correspondence, including a recent certificate drawn up by Olivier Namèche, also confirm its elegant colour combination of Blue Acapulco with a Bianco interior. In fine condition, with no apparent signs of impact, the bodywork and underbody are in good condition, as is the interior, which has stood the test of time well. With just 17,800 km on the odometer, we cannot confirm that this is its original mileage, but the fresh condition of the leather, carpets and plastics on the dashboard would suggest so. An iconic feature of the make and a symbol of the 1980s, its rear wing comes from a Countach LP 400 S Series 1 and was probably fitted at a later date by the importer. Records show this car was in the state of Florida in 1992. Imported into the Netherlands by Aaldering in December 2016, it subsequently joined a collection in northern France. Its owner entrusted it to GT Label in Sainghin-en-Melantois, a renowned firm that regularly works on models from the marque. A major general overhaul was carried out in October 2017, and in addition to this, all four tyres and the entire exhaust system were replaced. Although it has long remained in the shadow of the Countach, the Jalpa nevertheless has some strong selling points: limited production, a Bertone-designed body, an expressive V8 engine and the pleasure of a convertible top. Lamborghinis have seen their value skyrocket in recent years, and the Jalpa is riding this wave. This particular car is, without a shadow of a doubt, an excellent investment given its condition, its specification and, of course, its distinctive character.
