Congrats on the new Jalpa. You will enjoy it. I am also interested in mats for my Jalpa. Could you please PM me on info and prices. Thanks.

Congrats on the Jalpa, you will love it.

Thanks for the replies... greatly appreciated. Here is a picture of the car. I am a "driver" and this car was clearly used in it's previous life as a show car. As I mentioned before, the exterior is pefect, no dents, dings, curb rash, etc. At any rate, all will change shortly after a few drives on our "third world" Michigan highways. For those of you who aren't from the Midwest, Detroit is renown for its wonderful roads! -John

I should probably mention that I wasn't a fan of the "color matched" bumpers (I will most likely change them back to black), but other than that it has been kept very stock. -John

Changing the bumpers back to black or anthrazite would be a fine idea specially because this was the original way...

Agreed. I am a "purist" and not fond of modified or non-original items.

The car cosmetically is a condition 1-, paint is beyond perfect. The mechanic said that the car had no issues after a review and a full flush of fluids, new CV boots, plugs, wires, hoses, etc. That being said... I suspect that I will have a few gremlins to sort out after it siting for so long (as an engineer I can state that problems always arise from non-driven cars... Ferrari guys take note!).

On a side note, I almost bought the "infamous" George Evans car #12038 that I have been reading so much about. Mechanically the car is in great shape, drives very well. Cosmetically inside & out it's above average, I would call it a cond 3+ ... may be even a 2- car. Certaintly no rust, or major dents or dings. At any rate, I thought they we're very straightforward and I think that this would be one of the better Jalpa's for sale.

Thanks-looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum!

Tipo, after viewing your your ad on automart, I now have that characteristic tugging you normally feel when considering a new car purchase; as a mere 20-year-old, I know that $36k is an enormous investment for me right now, but I would love to see more of this in the future. Your price almost sounds too good to be true. Although I am fairly unfamiliar with the Jalpa, I have been a Lamborghini fan since I can remember. Good luck with the sale, and that is a stunning-looking vehicle!

Tipo, are you selling your Jalpa already? Was there something you didn't like about the car....

Tipo, that's a pretty nice looking piece of machinery you've got there. Do not sell that baby.
