1972 Lamborghini Jarama 400GT - $325,000 - Emeryville, CA - The Jarama, introduced in 1970, was one of the last front-engined Lamborghini GT`s, terminating the line that began with the very first Lamborghini, the 350GT. Mechanically, it was similar to the Espada, but with a 10.6 inch shorter wheelbase, the Jarama was considerably more agile to drive. Continuing on with Lamborghini’s sophisticated quad-cam V-12, all independent suspension, and five-speed gearbox, the Jarama was a deliberately understated high performance `businessman`s express` intended for those who appreciated Lamborghini`s engineering and performance, but who wanted to maintain a more refined lifestyle and image. Nevertheless, the styling has a subdued excitement that is hinted at by the sharp creases and muscular wheelarches. The car is very well proportioned, and thanks to its thin pillars and generous greenhouse, visibility is excellent. Today, the Jarama continues to exemplify this more subdued approach to enjoying a Lamborghini, in addition to being extremely underappreciated when compared to similar cars.This example, chassis number 10348, was the last example built finish in the color scheme of Luci del Bosco (Bronze Metallic) over special-order Senape leather upholstery. It is believed that this is the last of approximately 20 Jaramas originally equipped with the twin-panel, removable sunroofs.
This Italian GT car was delivered new to Angelo Pegno of Oyster Bay, New York. The car remained with its original owner for 37 years. It is in excellent and original condition throughout and still retains its original owner's manual and tool roll. The car has fewer than 5,200 miles from new. The current owner acquired the car in 2009.
