Does this fit in with this group?

Does this count as a classic, for this group?





Bought on a recent visit to Italy and fingers crossed arrives by the end of the week!

Its a 1965 Lamborghini 1R MEC. It has been in constant use by the same chap for some time. Pretty original, has the fuel cap, front lights and the steering wheel boss, etc. Missing the toolbox cover, guage cover (MEC didn't have a speedo, etc) and front badge.

100%. - Its a Lambo and not a Audi or GTR

Out of interest, what do these bad boys cost? Are they still used?

Well the newer SAME ones are massive. The older ones are much smaller. This makes them appealing to vinyards as they fit between the vines...

As for prices, it varies. I looked at one that was in better overall condition, but was missing some of those hard to find parts: priced at around euro 5k.

A quick look on Kijiji, here, shows up the odd older one. And that the price was fair.

Honestly, it sounds like the same guy.

We communicated through hand gestures, a liitle bit of Google Translate and some very broken Italian on my side.

The only thing we both understood was him asking for an Espresso...

....He couldn't speak a word of English - other than espresso - so I duly obliged, handed him the cash (I'd taken a leap of faith and sent a 2000 euro deposit electronically) and he drove off.
