1971 Lamborghini Jarama

10018roadItaly

Engine: 3.9L V12 DOHC per bank, 350 bhp

A very early Lamborghini Jarama GT, chassis number 18, delivered new to Switzerland in January 1971 through Garage Foitek and remaining in that country ever since. Developed by Paolo Stanzani on a shortened Espada platform, with coachwork by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the Jarama offered 350 bhp from its 4-litre V-12 and a 162 mph top speed. This matching-numbers example is believed to have been owned at one point by Jean Wicki, Swiss Olympic gold medallist in the 1972 four-man bobsleigh and noted Lamborghini enthusiast.
