But the Body was produced by Bertone, they got them delivered prepainted black at the factory. I assume, (since it's a US model) that the factory made some adaptions for the US market to install the 5mph Impact bumpers.
Batches of US bodies were made for the Urraco. This is the internal arrangement for the rear bumper with the side marker cutout clearly visible. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I do not think that a number stamped on the right turret is the body number. Indeed I know with certainty that two of them are not. It would be helpful if someone could check for the true body number, say in the headlight or easier still on the side of the front compartment lid. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Serious corrosion on the engine frame mounting cones. We will have to renew them as they are safety relevant. Check yours too if you have the engine out. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
For those interrested my friend's Jalpa, white on red is now for sale. Car is in Canada. Ready to drive.
Went for a nice test drive before taking the Jalpa to Radwood (80/90's car show) Image Unavailable, Please Login
To my surprise it ended up winning best in show, amongst some other nice period vehicles. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Guys! Currently refreshing one of the last Jalpa's produced. Very cool Red on Black car. Running into a ton of issues trying to find a new Clutch Slave. Does anyone know if Alfa or another Italian car Slave would be the same? My father swears its either Fiat or Alfa... Thanks!
John, The Lamborghini P/N for the Jalpa slave cylinder is 002120932. It looks remarkably similar to the one on some 105/115 series Alfa Romeos. The (pre QV) Countach slave cylinder is the same one as used on the Alfa Romeo 33. When I say the Alfa Romeo 33, I don't mean the sexy sports racer. I mean the boxy 80's sedan that they didn't import to the USA. I'd say take the Jalpa Slave cylinder to an "old" Alfa mechanic, and he will probably know the Alfa P/N off the top of his head.
To my knowledge, Lamborghini used Alfa slaves but the internal diameter is smaller. I'd recommend restoring the original if you still have it or have an Alfa cylinder sleeved?
