OK. I only decided to post pictures of my car on this site because of the lack of Lamborghini pressence.

My car is a 1988 Lamborghini Jalpa #411 out of 420 built from 1982 through 1988. I bought the car last October (2003) and am in the process of restoring the car back to new condition. I believe I am the 5th owner, but the historical records are gone so it is hard to trace back to the original owner. I will post more information about myself and the car at a later time as I am new here and will learn a little about the site before I do much else.

I have since bought two (2) yes two more Jalpas; a 1988 and a 1985.  You may ask why I bought anther Jalpa instead of a Countach.  Well a Jalpa is a very simple and easy car to care for.  A countach is a very complex, hard, and expensive car to care for.  Also once you have driven this "little" bull you will be hooked too.  The other 1988 is undergoing a complete restore similar to this car and will be drivable soon.  The 1985 is a parts car in very good shape... it is missing the entire engine and trans, but otherewise is in great shape.

Thanks for looking,
David

I am not sure why people think this is a front wheel drive or a fake.  This is a mid mounted engine (i.e. in front of the rear axle) with REAR wheel drive.  The first All wheel drive Lamborghinis were the LM and Diablo.
