Named for a famous breed of Spanish fighting bulls in the Lamborghini tradition, the Jalpa debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1981 as a more practical alternative to the flagship Countach supercar. The Jalpa is powered by a 3.5-liter V8 engine and accelerates from 0-60 MPH in less than 6 seconds. Finished in Acapulco Blue over Crema leather, this 1985 example is said to have been originally sold in New Jersey and spent time in the Netherlands before being imported to Canada where it is currently being offered for auction.
This Jalpa came factory-finished in the rare color of Acapulco Blue and is said to have been repainted once before under prior ownership. Designed by Carrozzeria Bertone, the Jalpa’s angular bodywork was influenced by Lamborghini’s preceding Silhouette P300 model and features a removable targa top, flared fenders, integrated air scoops, pop-up headlights, and an optional rear wing. An update for the 1984 model year included new round taillights as well as body-colored bumpers, engine lid, and air intakes. This example rides on factory 16” Ruote O.Z. Racing wheels dressed in Pirelli tires, detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin is lined with black carpeting and upholstered in Crema leather covering the seats, door panels, and center console. Accessories include a gated shifter, air conditioning, and power windows.
The naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V8 engine features dual overhead camshafts and four twin-barrel Weber carburetors. Approximately 250 HP is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. Some maintenance records are said to be available, and the seller states all fluids have been replaced in preparation for the next owner.
This sale will include a clean title.

The Jalpa has 2 gas tanks totaling about 23 gallons. The problem arises on very low mileage cars that rust and corrosion develops in the secondary tank and a blockage can occur. This happened with my 1988 and to fix it is very expensive because the tank has to be removed and decontaminated.
@Porschecarl Ill get to the Car tomorrow 1pm. Will clarify at that point. Thanks for the continued enthusiasm and interest. Most of them were Red. This one is Very Special in Acapulco Blue and crema. Wonderful Combo.
@thegonz Good Question. Needle was at bay, because ignition switch was Off. How Many Gallons the tank Carries. Don’t know.
@AlexBert ,
OK 2.5% plus transport which depends on closed/enclosed carrier.
The 2.5% the answer that I needed; and TY for the prompt reply :-))
@headsup : GE. Import Tax is 2.5% ( Exemption first 800$) + 2 forms to fill up at the Border, that You download, and print ( EPA 3520-1 & DOT HS-7 ).
Transport is very Variable depending what You want. For Very Small Finance ( Cost ) Alex ( Me ) can rent From UHaul a F250 with Matching 2 axles trailers. Leaving 6Am, doorstep 1600. Nothing like a RoadTrip once in a while. I’ve delivered a RR Corniche to Manhattan last year. Easy Peasy. i’ll shoot the pics to the Gallery for Fun.

Alex, The auction description states: “Some maintenance records are said to be available, and the seller states all fluids have been replaced in preparation for the next owner” yet you have subsequently stated that there are no service records available. Please clarify this discrepancy. Is there documentation of the latest fluid service? What if any documentation, records, owners manuals etc.come with this car?
Hi Alex,
Any idea of the costs for importation to USA, VA 20186 and transport?
TY/Ira

If the fuel gage reads empty, how much fuel does it take to fill the tanks so the gage reads full.

@Craignyc TYVM for the question. Previous owner decided it was time, in 2015, for her 30Th Birthday, a gift of an Expensive Spray, same color. After 30 years, patina kicks in, and He wanted to experience the feeling on a fresh new car like He was in 1985, one more time. Very High Quality. You can put her in a Lamborghini dealership Showroom today, that’s How Gorgeous this Car is.
