General description :
Extremely rare Lamborghini Jarama S1972 Lamborghini Jarama S an extremely well preserved example of this rare and desirable model. V12 with six Carbs/five speed/AC ID#10354. A true S, is an very rare find. This California car is believed to have had only three owners all from the Bay Area since 1972. The paint is quite serviceable and while it has some minor cracks and imperfections, is consistent with the patina of the rest of the car. The interior is beautiful original red leather and even the dash is still nice and original. The body, including door, hood and boot fit is extremely nice, and undisturbed, and being from San Francisco free of the normal rust the plagues low production Italian exotics. The 73,543 total kilometers (45,965 miles) are correct, and the car comes with the tool roll and jack and bag together with the manual and shop manual. The car sounds and runs well, however there is a breach from a combustion chamber somewhere as it starts to get hot during a short drive, and is also getting moisture into the oil. This can be caused by a leaking head gasket, or a crack in a casting, and will require immediate repair prior to use. The motor however, runs and sounds great. Gearbox, clutch and suspension feel good. AC blows, but not cold. With the heating situation solved, this would be a great car to just leave alone and enjoy.

About Lamborghini
Ah, the fiery tale of Lamborghini, a true icon born from the sparks of frustration with the Prancing Horse! Picture yourself in the early 1960s, a time when the automotive world was dominated by the likes of Ferrari. Now, enter Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer and a man with a passion for powerful machines.Act 1: The Frustration (1963)
Ferruccio, a proud owner of several Ferraris, found himself dissatisfied with the clutch in his 250 GT. Frustrated, he marched into Enzo Ferrari's office to air his grievances. The meeting didn't go as planned, with Enzo dismissing Ferruccio's concerns, suggesting that he stick to building tractors. Well, that was like waving a red flag at a bull.
Act 2: The Birth of Lamborghini (1963)
Fuelled by a mixture of frustration and determination, Ferruccio decided to take matters into his own hands. In 1963, he founded Automobili Lamborghini. His vision? To create grand touring cars that rivaled, or even surpassed, the offerings of Ferrari.
Act 3: The Pioneering Models (1960s-1970s)
And thus, the Lamborghini legend began with the release of the Miura in 1966. Designed by Marcello Gandini, this mid-engined masterpiece was a trailblazer, the world's first true supercar. With a V12 engine mounted behind the driver, the Miura set the standard for performance and style.
Following the Miura's success, Lamborghini introduced the iconic Countach in the early '70s. Marcello Gandini once again worked his magic, giving birth to a wedge-shaped wonder that became a poster child for a generation. The Countach wasn't just a car; it was an automotive revolution.
Act 4: The Design Maestros
Behind the scenes, designers like Marcello Gandini and later Giugiaro played pivotal roles in shaping Lamborghini's distinct aesthetic. Gandini's work on the Miura and Countach cemented Lamborghini's reputation for bold, angular designs that pushed the boundaries of automotive styling.
Act 5: The Legacy and Modern Marvels
As the decades unfolded, Lamborghini continued to innovate and produce iconic models. The Diablo, Murciélago, Aventador, and the more recent Huracán and Urus all carry the Lamborghini DNA – a perfect blend of power, performance, and unmistakable design.
Epilogue: A Fierce Rivalry
The Lamborghini-Ferrari rivalry became legendary, driving both companies to push the limits of automotive engineering. Lamborghini, born out of frustration, emerged not just as a competitor but as a trailblazer, leading the way for mid-engined supercars that continue to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
So, there you have it, the epic saga of Lamborghini – a story of frustration turned into a symphony of roaring engines, sleek designs, and a legacy that forever changed the landscape of high-performance automobiles.
