this one looks good.
I spoke with the sales agent. Not too much history or maintenance with the car, and the reserve is very reasonable.

When I spoke to him, he was unsure. Then he majically spoke with the owner and said it spent some time in Switzerland. Can Raymond verify the origin of theis car?

that's the former car of steve, he's mentioned on the jalpa-page in the ignition upgrade page. He used to be a car dealer himself and sold her in 2005.

He invested a lot of time to make her perfect, also a really nice example.

Sold on Ebay on 19.11.2005 for $32,600.00

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Ross and I just purchased Jalpa ELA12131 last Saturday. It's a red '85 euro model with 15,400 miles on it. I've got Evans Automotive picking it up tonight to go through the engine and put in stainless valves. I've been a Lamborghini nut job since I saw the first saw the Countach (a Hot Wheels) when I was 11 and 34 years later I finally own a Jalpa! I probably don't need to tell anyone how excited I am.

Cool one more here in the forum, from ELA12131 only the prior owner in Ohio and colour was known.

Default Owner info ELA12131

I'm the forth owner. I've got all the documentation. It was brought into the U.S. on 1/8/85 and Automotive Compliance Laboratory did the modifications. They didn't modify the intake or exhaust which suprises me. I have the names of the other owners but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post that info. The car has always been in Northern Ohio and now Northcentral Ohio
