Urraco

[MarkusD]

Hi,

does anyone knows someone who ownes an urraco?

Sorry for my english...my german izz better... ;-)

[dinkel]

You bought a Urraco without a testdrive?

[MarkusD]

...smile: so did I...but I have to explain that I've checked the important things befor: e.g. engine, bodywork etc...its a completely rebuild car and its still in the garage to be finished - so I hope it was worth the "risks"...

[dinkel]

What year is it? 2 or 3 litre?

[MarkusD]

nice picture...its a '76 with a 3 litre engine...so I hope I'm not going to have too many troubles with the chain driven camshafts...instead of the belts in the 308's and 2 and 2,5 litre urracos...waht do you think?

[MarkusD]

is the yellow one a dutch car?

[dinkel]

Nah, just a sharp pic . . . Good luck with the car.

Wonderful stuff; the P250 was painfully slow but these P300s were acceptable.

The boy Bob Wallace, Ferruccio's tester & token antipodean has bemoaned the lack of development in Lambo's small V8s from this era.

A cavalier choice, congrats.

Perhaps start walking up to complete strangers, slap them across the face with your glove and demand satisfaction.

Preposterous behaviour by full bloodied Lamborghini owners. Hail.

I think I like the "world" I'm in now... saw the movie "la piscine" with alain delon driving a wunderfull maser on the narrow roads of southern france...but: tempi passati....
