Anybody looking for a long term project?....

Just seen this in the classifieds, god knows why someone would abandon a Lamborghini (granted it is one of the "tamer Lambo's but still).
It says it's beyond "ECONOMIC REPAIR" but surely someone with enough time (and money) could restore it?.

£3,500 for a Lamborghini ain't too bad, even if it would never run again you could clean it up well and make it a garden ornament

They'll have their arm bitten off at 3 and a half grand. Yeah, it might cost a fortune to fix, but a dedicated amateur or a pro doing it on the side could surely get that done without breaking the bank.
Where's that fat guy with the very tall friend...?
Aye that's a good Idea Where's that fat guy with the very tall friend...?

How much is a good one worth?
By the state of it I'm not surprised it's listed as uneconomical repair! Not exactly the most desirable Lambo either.
Car and classic are showing prices for urracos from between £17,000 - £40,000 for varying examples i.e. condition,race specBy the state of it I'm not surprised it's listed as uneconomical repair! Not exactly the most desirable Lambo either.

If you did everything yourself you'd still be on for an absolute fortune. Parts will be imporssible to find and hideous money. I'm thinking bits of trim, never mind engine and gearbox bits. It's either a breaker or a full on resto. £17000 be way south of getting that usable
Couldn't you contact Lamborghini for parts, granted the cost as you say would be hideous.Just seems like such a waste.
Would love to know the history of why it was abandoned?.
There can't be many urracos in the country so someone here must know this one?.
Hmm, that is a bit crusty....
Definitely not an economical car to restore using Lambo parts but perhaps it could be "Frankensteined", i.e. repair the shell, bin the underneath and drop the body over something less exotic but quick, probably not one for the pursits but perhaps better than it being plundered for parts ?
Didnt Top Gear buy one of these when they all bought a 10 grand supercar, it was a bit crap iirc.

I'm seriously tempted with this! The Uracco has always been one of my favourite Lambos. If nothing else I can just sit it in the garage and it won't exactly lose money.
Only problem being I know very little about restoring cars, except for doing a bit of work with my dad on his Mk2 Jag.
