Description
Delivered new on 2 February 1973 in New York, this Lamborghini Jarama stands out today on account of its low mileage as well as its great condition. In 2020 the well known Lamborghini expert Iain Tyrrell’s workshop featured the car on his popular Youtube channel and assessed the indicated milage of just 9026 miles (14525 km) as seemingly original.
For most of its life the Jarama stayed in the United States where invoices testify its latest service work . In 2013 the car went to Europe where the new owner in effect ended up restoring the car. At some point in the United States the car had been painted orange but back in Europa its paintwork was redone in a grey metallic corresponding to its original finish by Carrozzeria Guerra, Lugo. The headlamps and lights have been replaced to conform to European legislation. The exhaust has been refurbished, along with the braking system and air conditioning compressor.
The Jarama underwent a further full service in 2017, again in 2020 with Iain Tyrrell and latest in August 2023 in Denmark. Iain Tyrrell also upgraded the interior returning carpets and headlining to original colours and ignition and cooling system was upgraded in 2023 and the car therefore ready for a new owner.
This GTS model is of interest as it is rare, with just 152 cars built, and features a number of improvements to its appearance compared with the earlier versions: a new look to the interior, improved air conditioning and a new version of the quad-cam 4-litre V12, producing 365 bhp at 7500 rpm. It is a perfect four-seat grand tourer, less radical than the Miura and easier to use than the Espada.
This car comes with a documented service history, its original jack and toolkit, an owner's manual, two sets of keys and a CD showing photos of its restoration. Thanks to its faultless condition, this Jarama does justice to a model which deserves to be better known.
