Lambo V8...chat/pics.....

Here is a clip of Jeff Sparrow's ex 15040 now in Singapore. This car already features on this thread with Countachman's post 22/11/13 and my post 04/12/13 and is the first RHD car with original vinyl interior. I went to see it last year when it was for sale but it was in terrible condition. He later told me he had sold it to Singapore and here it is for all to see! Note the boot badge as fitted to the first 50 cars.

And here is another orange car trying hard to look like Urraco Bob. This is 15544 with Jalpa engine from HLA12348, now in Japan.

I'm fairly sure that's me, given that there are only two roadworthy Silhouettes in the UK and it's not the other one (mirrors, sidelights, interior all look like mine not his!). However, I can't remember parking it anywhere that looks like that - maybe St Johns Wood High Street?
I reckon that's Duke Street, just off Oxford Street. Convenient for Selfridges although you'd be hard pressed to get much shopping in the Silhouette. I know my shops...And to keep to the theme of the thread here's some pics of one of my V8s:

Here is an amusing clip - though a little slow for the action to start... This is probably 40058 the car that later became the bronze Jalpa prototype.

Those images don't really show the true glory of the bright blue interior. It really is a very curious colour combination and I just can't see it doing well at auction unless Elton John fancies a V8 to complement his latest party frock.fyfe said:

Ah, they were the days!
The yellow Jalpa with the blue interior "I Thought" had been for sale for some time - It was in an auction in Germany at the AvD Race meeting August 2012 .. Personally I think the blue interior looked a bit tired at the time and the entire car looked a bit scruffy...
How many Jalpas with that colour combination could there have been - perhaps it was not the same car ...

Yes I think it was the same car, take a look at these pics from the auction website.How many Jalpas with that colour combination could there have been - perhaps it was not the same car ...
it was up for auction again at the recent Retromobile show in Paris - looks like it didn't sell
