The various and very variable postings of adverts to sell this car must have effectively devalued it, at least as far as any potential buyers who have seen the advert(s) are concerned.

As far as I can see on various forums and as asserted by a recognised guru on the subject, this car isn't the last chassis number built rhd. Even that assertion still doesn't make it not the last in some ways. Precise Lamborghini chassis number confirmations are not so much a wildly variable and inexact science but far more a complete 'retentionists' nightmare!

But, in all honesty, what difference does it make if the car is or isn't 'the last'? Surely the better qualitys of a car are determined by many other factors other than the numbers stamped on the engine or chassis panels?

As an example, another Jalpa with far better provenance and a succession of owners who have cared for the car since it came to the UK is now for sale once again.

It's almost certainly NOT the first, last or even the threeteenty twenteven fiverdth Jalpa ever built... but it is a great car, not peachy-perfect in all respects (thankfully...) and it comes with an excellent reg. plate as well. Guess what? It's also a good bit cheaper to actually buy and (from reputation) will certainly be up-and-running for this summer without much pause for concern...



at the risk of annoying the mod's, contact details for this car are available via this 'office'...
