CAR AUCTIONS

[lifes2short]

I prefer them to look as they are...with some patina. the ones on the website look plastic.

i tend to agree, just a bit of patina is nice, the ones I've come across are either complete rust buckets or refurbished

Absolutely a project - and that autobox would need to become a manual - but a low estimate provides significant headroom. https://cars.bonhams.com/auction/29...rama-400gts-chassis-no-10650-engine-no-10650/

I think about this magnificent creation on a weekly basis https://cars.bonhams.com/auction/28312/lot/146/1972-lamborghini-jarama-s-coupe-chassis-no-10378/

A 1976 Lamborghini for £40k? Ridiculous!

 

[urquattrogus]

Heart says yes yes

Head says run a mile as it will need 100k spent on it?

I have a fair idea where this has come from, so I would have few qualms about making it my own, as the prior owner did.
Come on Euromillions

The most expensive Jarama S at auction was €178k, so you have headroom.


It may well cost more than €100k to restore, mind.

Just bill it in regular instalments, it will be fine!?

Should be done by 2040...

At that price it would be tempting to do a Bob Wallace special, if you know of that car…

It won’t sell for as little as £40k. I’ll see to that. But I’m expecting to be heavily outbid.
Assuming it comes from the same collection as my Aston, it’ll need a very thorough recommissioning.

That would be my assumption too.
Would you rip out the autobox?

If the auto box was original, I’d leave it for now. But if was an after-market adaptation, then I’d swap it out for a period Lambo manual one.

From what I understand of his other ‘projects’ gearboxes are easy come easy go, with auto boxes a choice.
Then again you could order them with a three-speed.
The paint doesn’t look like its original hue either

The need to spend a bit more on their lighting budget!

While the Indianapolis cars are eye popping, for more the second sale is more amazing, the infamous Klein scrapyard. Three dusty Miuras just hanging about - and they’re not the most important cars. Can only imagine what else is lurking in there.
