Urraco thread

I remarked quite recently that some early Urracos had the bull emblem on the trunk. At first I thought it was an aftermarket mod, but I also have it on one of my homologation blueprints. From some of the pictures, it looks like the trunk panel was stamped to accept the emblem.

Does anybody know something about it?

You're right, only very early Urraco had the bull emblem on the trunck and the panel was stamped same as the front.

 

Your homologation drawings are of the pre-production car which is completely different to the production body.

The first 50 cars had the boot badge [fact not speculation]

 

correct, and to let the audience understand this is pre-production model, it shoud be aware of the location of the headlights here vs the production car like on the picture below of my Urraco P250S. the pop up headlights have move forward to the front...

Thanks a lot for the info, I didn't know so many cars had it!

 

Just to be clear it was the first 50 bodies [not cars/vins/deliveries etc etc] that had the badge.

Regarding the drawing, one of the pre-production cars had the boot badge. The drawing is certainly of a pre-production body but the boot badge may have been added [another of your drawings does not have it] as well as the production style split rear bumper. The exterior filler cap didn't make it to production either!

 

P111 - 15878 on ebay (no affiliation). It looks nice. It is originally from southern California. Does anyone have additional info/history on the car?

 

That's peterson's old car. Before that it belong to another San Diegoian

There are strange things on that car not found on normal P111 I was told by the previous owner

 

That's a sweet car!

 

It was consigned to Lamborghini Inc Los Angelis so is definitely a P250 bodied P111 but it does appear to have weber carbs.

 

Ivor knows....

I wonder if it's the early r&t pre- P111 "driving impression" USA car that coltrin reported on ?

 

What colour and where was that one tested?

15878 was originally nero/nero........

 

Perhaps any P111 owners out there can let me know whether they have Solex or Weber carbs?

The early Urracos had Solex but they all had to be changed to Weber. Could anyone with an Urraco P250 handbook let me know if it stipulates Solex or Weber in the specification tables.

Thanks....

 

I really need Urraco P250 headlamp cover templates.

 

There are Jalpa headlight buckets for sale on eBay other wise pm me to let me know what you want

 

Three Small Exotic GTs, R&T Sept 1975 stated the test-car (P111) had four Weber 40 IDF, 175 bhp @ 7,500 rpm and 139 lb-ft torque @ 5,750 rpm. 0-60 mph-10.1 sec. Wow, that is slow. My P111 (15946) has Weber carbs as well.

 

Carboard templates for the lid covers. The guy on eBay will not trace the lids and I am not paying 1K for rusty buckets. Thanks! I will pay for them thats not the issue the issue is 1K for carboard tracings lol

 

i cant tell the pics are n b&w. i think it was dark with tan interior if memory serves.

 

Ok I have made a template. Give me an address and I will send.

 

Ok thanks. Until now I thought they might have used the ditched Solex on the P111!

 

Only one day and ended early with $40,000 bid. Someone made a good offer, I think. I hope one of us got the Urraco.

 

Just for the records, the eBay red/tan Urraco 15878 sold for $48,000 yesterday by Sunset Classics.
