    Do you mean the REAL Lamborghinis, built when Ferruccio still owned the company and built cars like the 350GT 400GT Miura and Islero all of which are worth more than all the various Countach models except the LP400.

    I have an lp400s, Urraco, and Jarama.
    I have not been able to drive the Jarama but just looking at what it is....a small car with a V-12, wide and low......and just sitting in it......that will be a VERY fun car.
    However, the Urraco is the most underrated car. It is so much fun to drive and easy. It is not worrisome like all the others....if you can understand what I mean. They are very easy to work on. I heavily urge an owner that has one Lamborghini, spend 20-30-40k and add it.

    One day I'll have an Espada.......

    prior to todays Gallardo the Espada was the number one selling lambo up til then with a glorious 10 year production run ! 16.5 feet long and less than 4 ft high with a screaming v12 crusing thru the alps with three guests and luggage on route to that chalet with a warm brandy waiting while your all natural gal adjusts the station to find matt munro crooning to keep up with that engine note .
    thats pretty cool....

    No Miura and no Countach, huh? In that case, for best looking I'm going to have to go with the one-and-only original Lambo, the 350 GTV. If we're only talking about production cars here (and I'm forced to exclude the Miura and LP400), I'd go with the Islero. Always been a big Islero fan.

    Yea, I have to agree..with these choices..the Espada..

    Just think you were KING SH$T driving this V-12 in the day..AND still gets the looks and the fun today as well..

    I agree with others that the car is under valued at this time.

    I'm with you, laddie. I have yet to have a passenger who did not exit the car with a big grin and lots of compliments.

    What does it mean - "cool"??? To imagine if Steve McQueen would have jumped into an LP 400 or in a Jarama in the epic movie "The Thomas Crown Affair". That would have been cool -in my opionion!

    "Cool" is not only what someone likes - its what is sophisticated, an attitude with confidence!

    Ciao!
