I would look for a completed car, that does not need any type of work.

 

I think you will save money, if you find a car that needs nothing.

 

 

 

 

Take a look at Post # 12.

 

I believe the Jalpa, is priced around the same amount as the Urraco ?

 

The Jalpa and Urraco both have a Lamborghini V-8.

The parts are expensive and scarce.

 

 

Perhaps you can contact a few long time Urraco owners in the U.S., and ask if they know of any cars for sale ? Lamborghini auto clubs / ebay / Lamborghini chat boards ?

Jfrazar is going to kill me, but he has a 73 euro Urracoo *15176*, a euro 83 jalpa *12095* and an 85 Coutnach 5000S. he may be interested in selling his Urraco.

 

 

send Jfrazar a PM. he is a car dealer, and has sold cars outside of the USA before ( we have a big Port here in Savannah Georgia).

 

we are part of a small car club, and all of us change our cars often.

 

life is too short to have a " relationship" with a car.

I have had my urraco from 2001 untill present, and my advice is to buy the best car on the market.. The value is still pretty low, and you can get a great car for a good price.. I bought the car for aprox 16 000 euro in 2001 and had a major service and some problems with clutch and differential last year.. I spent about 10 000 euro on this.. with overhauled carbs and new fuelhoses, new exhaust and timingbelts, bearings. Now i have a blown headgasket, and the job will aproximately be around 2000 euros depending on changing valves to stainless or not..

 

And after that I still need work on the rear suspension.. So Its not about what you need to do, its about when to stop..

 

Urracos are really beautifull cars.. I am thinking of selling my car after the headhgasket job, but i really dont want to because they are a blast to drive.. I have a Ferrari Testarossa as well, but to be honest, i have mutch more fun driving my Urraco.. I still do have a problem as I have 5 vintage cars and dont want to sell any of them.. Its really 2 too mutch..

 

Cheers

Buy a driver, which may be a little rough. These cars are so easy to work on yourself. Parts are "somewhat" available but much better to fix up than a Jalpa. Lots of crossover parts. For example, I used 4 strut inserts from a 90's VW Corrado, simple to do.

 

No complete restorations.

my Urraco costed me 24k € and i don't regret paying that much...never had a problem with it....

Diogo,

24k is a low price for a such a good one in Europe today

 

you got a good deal i think

Hi Markus,

have a look at www.mobile.de. There are 10 Urracos for sale at the moment, 3 in Germany, 7 in other european countries. Good luck!

I am searching for replasment struts.. Insert struts in the mcphearson? 90's vw corrado? How did that work out?? harder or softer suspention than original?

 

cheers Daniel

I'll post a new thread on the strut.
