One out of 152 Lamborghini Jarama S sports cars is heading to auction soon with a selling estimate of €160,000–200,000. The Jarama was company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini’s personal favorite of all time, but ended up overshadowed by the more popular models that followed.
The production of the Jarama lasted from 1970 until 1976. Only 328 units were made in total, including 152 ‘S’ versions introduced in 1972.
The car utilized a shortened variant of the Lamborghini Espada platform. Its 3.9-liter V12 produced 350 PS (345 hp / 257 kW) in the original version and 365 PS (360 hp / 268 kW) in the S spec. Five-speed manual was the only transmission at launch, but automatic became an option later on. The drive stayed on the rear axle.
The example on sale was the 14th Jarama S unit produced in 1972. It wore a garnet red paint coat and had a white leather interior from the factory. Someone down the line had it resprayed in blue, but a restoration that took 1,200 hours to complete saw that change reverted.
The car has 87,400 km (54,300 miles) under its belt and retains the standard cabin trim. The seller claims it is in great condition and fully functional, only needing a fresh set of tires. Whoever buys it will get a full package of documents with their purchase.
