    They are in the boot, I didn't see the end piece that links the two though and the car wasn't running when I viewed it. What do I need to look at for?
    And its 3000 kms since rebuild not from new, 43000 from new.

    Cool early car with roll up windows. Might be missing the engine cover over the trans axle being a 72.

    Everything! But most important is to establish if the engine rebuild was done by a reputable professional and exactly what was done, otherwise this might need re-doing. If you are unsure what to look for its best to get one of the established experts to report on it. Did you make a note of the vin?

    The Book of the Lamborghini Urraco

    I do not have this book. Who has and what do you think? Is it worth getting? Anything we do not already know? Photos of cars we have not seen? And why the red car or an orange car on cover?

    Wife keeps asking about a Christmas gift and I have been a roadblock for a month lol.

    This is an interesting book with lots of colour plates. Some you may have seen before but not the majority. Good value too.

    Have finally started to work on my Urraco P250S after too many years at the back of the workshop.
    The car was imported to Sweden from Italy 1986. I have owned it since 1986.
    Car was painted around 1989-90 and then left. Yes there is reasons for the long waiting. Better late than ever...

    During its life in Italy someone has done work on the drivers side electric window. The wire has probably broken. The repairs work fairly well (The wire re-routed) but I want to do it properly. Does anyone here know how long the wire should be?

    I will probably have lots of more question as the work progress.

    I do not know how long the wire is supposed to be, but I did take some photos when my wire jumped off the pulleys in my passenger side. Looks like the Urraco does not have the springs at the end of the wire the Espada has to take up slack. This means the Urraco wires will have to be tightened once in a while to prevent it jumping of. Btw. my drivers side might soon have to be renovated, around 50% of the strands in the cable are broken currently. :-(

    Hey out there.

    I own a S1 P250 Urraco #15916. I bought it in Italy from owner 6 months ago. I searched for more than a year and got it now. Red exterior and black interior. All original condition and 30.000km on the clock. Engine with complete inspection and new cog-belt and pulleys in 2013. I want to fit a Pertronix ignition.

    I am looking for a spare L 240 engine. Does anyone know how to get one? Maybe damaged or bad condition.

    Thanks for kind answer.

    Martin

    Silly question, but is it for sale? (I'm assuming not, because it is "on display")

    Not looking to flip; I'm looking for a Urraco to join my 308 GT4. I think they would look good together. :)
