1976 Lamborghini Urraco P300
Estimated at £60,000 - £70,000
Lot details
Registration No: EU-Reg
Chassis No: 20234
- Supplied new to Mr Wolfgang Steinhart in Switzerland on the 4th of March 1976
- Credible 53,660 kilometres and MOT'd into February 2019
- Subject to a recent refurbishment at c.£4000
Looking as current as the day it was born, this all-Black lefthand drive Uracco is one of just 190 P300 versions created, so a pretty rare vehicle even by supercar standards. It was delivered new to a Mr Wolfgang Steinhart of Switzerland on March 4 1976, and these days displays an unwarranted but credible total of 53,660 kilometres. It has recently been the subject of a c.£4,000 refurbishment and is now regarded by the vendor as having `very good' interior trim, and `good' bodywork, V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox. The Lamborghini comes complete with an MOT valid to February 9, 2019. If you are seeking an item of head-turning exotica wearing something other than the ubiquitous Prancing Horse badge, this could well be the car for you.
By tradition, Lamborghini model names relate to the sport of bullfighting and Urraco is that of a small breed of fighting bull and therefore effectively means `little bull'. It is an apt moniker, as the line was Ferruccio Lamborghini's attempt to rival Ferrari's Dino and Maserati's Merak and was therefore smaller and more affordable than the Miura. The 2+2 newcomer was debuted at the 1970 Turin Salon, though did not enter production until 1973. The design was from the talented pen of Marcello Gandini when working for Bertone and was ultimately produced in four different forms - the 1994cc P200, 2463cc P250, 2996cc P300 and P250 Tipo 111; the latter being a run of 21 cars specifically equipped to meet the increasingly demanding federal regulations. The P300 boasted 247bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car from rest to 60mph in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 162mph. Taking all three versions into account, Urraco production totalled 791 units and spanned seven years. The ensuing Silhouette and Jalpa models were developments of the Urraco.
PLEASE NOTE: The estimate for this Lot is now £60,000 - 70,000.
