Engine: 3.9L DOHC V12, 350 bhp
Colour: Bruno Metalizzato (metallic brown)

A 1971 Lamborghini Jarama 400 GT built to U.S. Federal specifications, documented by Lamborghini expert Olivier Nameche as the first Jarama delivered in the United States and carrying the 34th Bertone body produced for the model. Sold new through Modena Sports Cars in New York in March 1971, it has had just two owners from new and shows under 30,000 miles.
