1974 Lamborghini Urraco

This 1974 Lamborghini Urraco is finished in Luci del Bosco over a tan interior and was recently acquired by the selling dealer after nearly three decades of storage. Records indicate that the car was sold new in Montreal, Quebec and remained with the first owner until 1978. It was then registered to a corporation for approximately six years before being purchased by a dentist in Vancouver, who drove it for another four years and eventually placed it in longterm garage storage. The mid-mounted 2,463cc V8 is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and the car is reported to start and run. However, the brakes are currently inoperable and a full service will be required before it can be driven. Factory equipment includes air conditioning and a set of Campagnolo alloy wheels. Now showing 48k kilometers (~30k miles), this Urraco is being offered in Canada with the factory books, older documentation, and a British Columbia registration. Urraco production began in 1973 and lasted for five years, resulting in approximately 520 P250 examples in total. This car was sold new in Canada and comes equipped with a set of slimmer chrome bumpers, rather than the rubber impact items mandated for the US market. The body remains finished in the factory light brown metallic color, and records indicate that paintwork was performed in the late 1970s. The brake system is currently inoperable. However, the emergency brake is functional and has been used to move the car around. Factory-installed Campagnolo wheels measure 14″ in diameter. The S model received an upgraded interior with power windows and Alcantara on the dash, center console shift boot, and armrests. Photos of the back seat and cloth inserts have been provided in the gallery below. Air conditioning came equipped from the factory, and a non-original stereo was installed in the early 1980s. 48k kilometers (~30k miles) are shown on the 5-digit odometer. The 90-degree 2,463cc V8 and 5-speed manual gearbox are mounted behind the cabin. Induction is through four twin-choke Webers beneath a factory airbox. The seller reports the engine runs and the car moves under its own power, though a major service should be performed, including a timing belt replacement. Results from a recent compression test are listed below. Front Cylinder Bank: 200 psi 195 psi 190 psi 200 psi Rear Cylinder Bank: 200 psi 195 psi 195 psi 190 psi Photos of the floors, drivetrain, and suspension have been provided in the gallery below. Records and receipts from the third owner dated from the early 1980s have been retained. The factory maintenance book shows a stamping for the recommended 40k-kilometer service in 1984.
