Default My '86 Lamborghini Jalpa

one of 410 made during the mid '80's
"baby Countach" -
it has 8 cylinders rather than 12
the doors swing out rather than up -
several items (like back wing) are the same as the C/T -
it cost new about $60,000 - the C/T was $100,000 - 1980's prices
the "new" baby Lambo is the Gallardo -10 cyl. - doors out - app $180,000
new 'big Lambo' - Murcialago - 12 cyl. - doors up - $275,000-325,000
more pics later -
I will also post a couple of pics of a Jalpa next to a C/T for comparison -
similar but different!!

T-bird -
custom shot already provided in Lambo section where first posted per a007atp's instructions - check page #11 - several posts on this matter -

I posted here because TT had asked about posting some info about the Jalpa since it is such a rare car -
