Creating a "verde rio" thread. This is LP400 #1120012. I chose this "incomplete" photo because it shows best the colour. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes I have the image of the interior, I can put it here also. It defenitely was very stylish. And clean, nothing too much and still some personality. So the car is then from 1971, not 1973. Thanks for correcting! That LP400 looks really cool, one of the best colors ever seen of my view longside the Orange. Anyway, here is the interior shot. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The exterior and interior colors are so kewwwl. Kind of like an old 60's Camaro. I like your special car.
Fantastic!!! It looks very unique, it adds a lot to the car's personality (even though it didn't need much!).
For the LP400, I like most verde rio / bianco and giallo fly / tabacco. Then comes arancio / bianco or arancio / blu.
Can anyone on this thread tell me where the Verde Rio Met. colour can be sourced now? My Jarama S was originally Verde Rio and I'd like to return it to this colour. It's chassis 10384. The first right hand drive S made. Going through a bare metal restoration. Here's a picture of when all the paint was stripped off. Back to the question. Who can make Verde Rio now?

Jarama inspiration (Bertone concept unveiled in Torino 1969) ? Or inspired by the Jarama styling ? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Bruno, Since 2007, my website www.jaramaregistry.com is describing "the inspiration"... better to developp in the real Jarama page instead of this thread more related to one specific model... "At Turin show in 1969, Bertone was presenting a new prototype based on a Fiat 128 and called “Shopping”. The same year, Gandini (member of Bertone’s team) had design a new model, ready in his file for the first car manufacturer to show itself. It was reported that Gandini was waiting for Lamborghini to entrust him with the goal of doing a new model. But, Iso Rivolta was quicker and hired Gandini’s service to design a new model : “Lele”. Produced at 317 units, “Lele” had a short life too, from 1969 to 1974. Having already design Miura and Espada, the pair of designers “Bertone & Gandini” was finally in charge of its third Lamborghini project. Bertone ’s original design was this time much more achieved, with many modifications differing from the “Lele”. Jarama had an aggressive & compact profile, front angular lines are softened by the rounded leading edge compared to “Lele”. The rear three-quarter of the body had a specific angular shape – trapezoidal as claimed by many journalists. A small lip spoiler at the rear edge of roof added a symbolic touch of aerodynamic. Due to its wide glazed area, Jarama allowed an excellent visibility all around. To feed fresh air to interior two NACA air ducts were fitted on front hood. In order to keep the hood line as lower as possible and to avoid a decrease in performances during night driving like on Islero (with its retractable headlights), the headlights were covered by small lids (Bertone did this already on the Alfa Romeo Montreal). Switched on they retracted downwards, under the lights. The front fender lateral air vents appeared on the GTS model, but many recorded 400 GT already have this upgrade. Were they already fitted at factory or later ?"
