    Looks very beautiful. Congrats! Murcielago looks good too in that red colour. Any more pics from Murcie?

    It is a 1985, I believe the last year that had the black engine cover before they went to body color
    I emailed the Jalpa.ch website a couple days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.

    The signature is Valentino Balboni…prior owners met him at a show and he signed the dash, great pics of the signing!

    and yes, the car came with the original untouched spare tire and the full unused tool kit.

    You hit pay dirt. From everything I can tell, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, they are the same as the Countach.

    I like wings, especially old school Lambo wings.

    The Jalpa dash makes a perfect place for Valentino to sign! Here is a shot from 2009 when he was at Lamborghini Bellevue and I had him sign my Jalpa. :)

    My drivers seat is a little more worn on the bolster than I like..with a small hole along the seam (looks like it just needs resewn) The passenger seat looks brand new... .anyone that can repair or replace the leather?

    I had an 85 and loved that car! Great sound with a proper Ansa exhaust and a real looker. Will leave a 308 for dead and looks very muscular! Enjoy!

    By the way, here is a good safety tip. Be careful of those doors!

    I can't tell you how many times I would work on mine with the door open and the window down. I'd back into that "point" so hard it would knock the wind out of me and leave a nice bruise on my back for weeks!! LOL!!!
