This 1988 Lamborghini Jalpa was manufactured in December 1987 and is #381 of 410 examples built between 1981 and 1988. The car was first sold by Mark LaPrade’s Maserati/Lotus of St. Petersburg, Florida in October 1988, and remained with its first owner in Mississippi until being acquired by WCDM in July 2020. Power comes from a 3.5-liter DOHC V8 coupled with a five-speed manual gearbox, and the car is freshly finished in a red with gold refinished Tecnomagnesio wheels and a tan interior. Amenities include a removable roof panel, a gated shifter, an Alpine CD stereo, air conditioning, and more.
A compression check was recently performed all cylinders are within 5 PSI. This final-year Jalpa shows 13k kilometers (~8k miles) and is offered with original bills of sale and landing, additional purchase documentation, factory literature, rear wing, a tool roll, emergency kits, service records, vehicle history reports, a statement written by the original owner, and clean BC Registration.
The Bertone-designed body is finished in Fresh Siviglia Red (PPG 215157) with black bumpers and features a removable roof panel as well as pop-up headlights . Freshly refinished Gold 15″ Tecnomagnesio phone-dial wheels were reportedly ordered when new and wear factory Pirelli P7 tires that date-coded to the 43rd week of 1987 and should be replaced due to age. An OZ space-saver spare is mounted in the front trunk. The Jalpa featured four-wheel independent suspension as well as rack-and-pinion steering.
The cabin is trimmed in Champagne leather with red piping on the seats, door panels, and center console along with brown carpets and a black upper dash. Features include power windows, air conditioning, an Alpine cassette stereo, a digital Jaeger clock, and a gated shifter. A three-spoke steering wheel frames a 280 kmh-speedometer and a tachometer with a 7,500-rpm redline, while Jaeger gauges for oil pressure, coolant and oil temperature, and fuel level are mounted above the center stack. Just over 13k kilometers (~8k miles) are shown on the six-digit odometer.
The 3.5-liter L353 DOHC V8 is mounted amidships and was rated at 255 horsepower when new. The selling dealer points out factory decals. Compression test results from March 2020 can be seen in the gallery. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual synchromesh transmission. Areas of factory Cosmoline are retained on the underside. Manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit and jack, and emergency equipment are included in the sale along with service records.
