Yeah, reminds me......need to send out clutch salve for rebuild. Been leaking all over the floor. Thankfully, I think some one put a rubber mat in there for this very reason. Spring is here!
15212 originally argento bleu recently sold for 63,800 Euros... https://www.artcurial.com/en/lot-1973-lamborghini-urraco-p-250-s-no-reserve-3790-38
nice looking car... descriptions says " larger Weber 40 DCNF carburetors" ? i thought all P250's came with C40 solex or 40 IDF webers in the same size? i recall only the jalpa came with larger 42 dcnfs.
I stumbled across 20234 at Chelsea Classic Cars this morning where it is for sale. It is definitely a P300! Body #614 was in a batch of US style bodies which would presumably account for the US style vin plate on the dashboard. The front bumper would probably have been P111 style originally with single colour lens but changed to the later bumper with dual colour lens sometime after 1977 when this style was introduced on the Silhouette.

Di dove sei em42? Ho pensato que sei Belgian. Io sono mezzo Italiano e mezzo Americano. Usuallmente io “post” en inglese, ma sono nell’ Italia a questo momento.... and “when in Rome do as the Romans do.” Temple
Yes I did. Thought it was creepy some guy wanted to come to my house to see my car, lolol just kidding. PM sent.
I can understand that. My “problem” is that I think the Uracco is the most beautiful car ever, and there NONE in the US (ok, maybe 10-15). So if I want to see one I have to be a little “creepy”. And to see one of the “prototypes”, well..... I will also confess to being one of those “direct and to the point assh.... from NYC”- I’m sorry. Thank you!! PM received and responded to
I used the Urraco almost every day this week. What a joy! Small, nimble, quick, super tight steering, great road holding... And this SOUND!!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Indeed! Even if technically speaking one of these still has an overcoat of black on top of its original green.
Afternoon gents - my first post in this part of the forum with a (hopefully!) simple three part question.... is it possible to convert a LHD Urraco to RHD / are the parts ie; a RHD dash moulding available / would someone like Colin Clark or another specialist be able to carry out the work? Thanks in anticipation...
P5B...welcome no personal experience but if anyone can do it i suspect it would be colin.. i think the hardest part maybe sourcing a rhd dash. but its a fiberglass sub-straight and not a two shot injection molded dash so it is possible to create a new one then have it upholstered and transfer most of your switches and gauges over. what year is your urraco? the early cars didnt have brake servos so it maybe a tad easier then the later cars. there were late a rhd jalpa and early urraco parts cars with pedal assembly, steering and column at eurospares in the uk that you might be able to use or adapt to your urraco. late jalpas have an updated brake servo mounted next to the MC rather than the two remote mounted ones under the headlamps. rhd steering racks are different and some have suggested its a lancia beta rack adapted. it also runs a short steering column were as the LHD versions have non. the eurospares steering unit and column may come in handy. stalk are mounted differently due to the bespoke column if memory serves. the bulkhead and cross member of course will need holes cut out for all these parts of course. the accelerator pedal has a jackshaft to throttle cable located input in the tunnel on RHD cars. i suppose it wouldnt be too difficult to fabricate one. i would assume finding all rhd pedal box, steering rack and column parts would be monumental challenge. lucky for you if your in the UK . you are in ground zero of the worlds largest sportscar cottage industry area. you can virtually spec order steering racks, pedal assemblys, cables, MC or minor missing parts to adapt to your car these days. ivor on this forum has a silhouette and was a long term owner of a RHD P300. he is intimate with these cars and has been an invaluable unofficial ambassador for these wonderful v8 lambos. you might want to reach out to him for his insight. best of luck and please keep us in the loop is you go forward with this conversion project...
The LHD is much nicer to drive than the RHD because the gear change gate is angled towards the gearbox and there is more space to the right of the accelerator pedal. I do not know for certain but I think the pedal box is probably the same either side but the chassis/body will need to be modified to accommodate it. The P250 doesn't have brake servos, the P300 does. The steering box is completely different, also the steering wheel. The dash is fibreglass and a new mould could be made without too much difficulty then covered with new mousehair/alacantara. The engine release lever is in the door jamb on the drivers side. Even if you can find the steering parts I really question whether the cost of conversion is warranted and it will probably have a negative impact on the value. If you do not already have a car then RHD cars do come to market now and then. The P300 is a much more rewarding car than the P250 and given the choice of a LHD P300 or a RHD P250 I would go for the P300!
