Urraco thread

Thanks a lot!

 

Hi to all,
I'm reassembling my car after spraying, but I need to confirm some details.
Please can someone give me some indications where the drain hoses, at the corners of the luggage compartment, are routed ? If someone is so kind to post a picture where these hoses (like the ones at the sides of the engine compartment lid) come out from the car's body to drain rain water out ?
Many thanks.
Francesco

 

I hope this helps you. the pic shows the left side, the arrows point to the hose... Image Unavailable, Please Login

That color looks amazing against a gray sky!

Nice story and beautiful car. Thanks for sharing.

 

Look at the painting behind Edd's desk!

 

Various images from the 1980s...SRW 504W had a Starsky & Hutch side stripe at the time (c.1984). Seen in a Vauxhall showroom ! The US-spec orange car was at Goodwood c.1983 (the same day the pictures were taken for 'Supreme Among Exotics'). The silver car was registered XB 16, and seen in London in 1984.

Thanks for posting these! The top one is 15040, the first right hand drive car. The bumper would originally have been chrome but has been replaced with a 1977 twin lens bumper...

rear spoiler looks pretty good and close in shape to the jalpa geneva bertone prototype. better than most spoilers adapted by owners on the v8 cars

 

BTW if you need them, I can make replacement strut top mounts

PM for details

Another destroyed P300 car in Italy:

That's what happens when you want a Ferrari but buy an Urraco and have money to waste on a conversion.

 

Thanks Lee, good to know.

 

It could be returned to stock with a bit of effort.

 

A P250 restored in Madrid. Impressive engine damage to begin with.

 

Hi all. I’m trolling my way thru this thread and obviously some time ago see this thread re seat comfort. I have to say I disagree (maybe I’m built funny). I’ve done 3 mega trips in my p300 each of around 5000km (admittedly over 3-6 weeks). A big day way 400-500km. Not huge but always 3-6 hours driving, at the end of which I’ve never been sore. I’d go far as to say they’re as comfortable if not more so than some other cars I’ve owned (E39 M5 and 997 Carrera).
It’s also possible I’m the only adult male (~182cm tall and 90kg so not small) who has spent 2 hours in the back seat (passenger side not behind the driver) on a 3 up journey. I probably risked a dvt due to inability to do any more than twitch. Cosy you might say but it is possible (again more so than the back of a 997).

I love this thread obviously so thanks to all contributors.

Last a question - is there any notable V8 gathering planned this summer? I need a plan and something to look forward to.

Ciao!

clax you should try a silhouette seat... one of the first proper high back sports seats with bolstering that can really hold you in place like a modern sport seat.

for me the jalpa and the p300 seats are cushy, mushy lounge chairs more geared for comfort rather than driving.

back seats are tiny but probably better than a merak ? as a kid i went to my sis wedding in a back seat of a 911SC... it was unbearable so my hats off to you !

 

Hope this helps. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

5 years ago Colin Clarke Engineering completed my engine rebuild (principally about replacing valves to ensure they weren’t the sodium filled ones) in prep for the 2103 lamborghini 50th Giro. 17,000km later going strong and looking forward to spring!
