Tony’s Take: 👍 The word on the street: the Lamborghini Jalpa offers 75 percent of the Countach’s fun for 15 percent of the cost – despite being the rarer car. The former tractor-maker built around 410 Jalpas, Jaeger gauges and all. U.S. Customs and Excise stamped this 255-horse Bertone beauty’s passport three years after it gave Rocky flashbacks – it’s one of only 100 examples that made it stateside.
The Jalpa’s slowly ascending market value may plateau when the market adjusts, but it’s never going down for the count. Two months ago, a highly-original 1984 Lamborghini Jalpa with 5k on the clock hammered for $126k. Yo Adrian! I promise I ain’t gonna embarrass you, O.K.? Downside: Broken speedo and resprayed trunk lid. Lacks the Countach clout.
