Probably the only Lambo i could afford anyway , Saw my first one ever at Goodwood when they were unveiled in the UK, was in awe then , both problematic cars in general with the Lambo giving the higher driving factor of the two

There was a great article about them in Italia magazine.....I think I still may have a copy hanging around.

Like any exotic from that era rot was a problem but probably just as reliable Uraco and certainly quicker, rarer and in my opinion a better car

They are very rare, Top Gear cars used to have a few for sale a few years back for about 25K. There was one in Pistonheads not long ago, 33K it was up for.

There is one other affordable and extremely rare Lamborghini........The Jalpa

Exactly what I was going to post, always been a fan due to the targa roof panel. Quick, beautiful, a lot of presence.

If I had the option, a Bora for me though :)

Bora is beautiful but a half decent one would cost twice as much as a Jalpa

Nice link in that Giulio Alfieri when he was forced out of Maserati went to Lamborghini and had a big hand in the development of the Jalpa as a road car. Remember reading big article in Car from the period.

Jalpa was a better developed Urraco (via the Silhouette, which is even more of a rare beast).All nice
