Aesthetically, the Miura is probably the best looking car ever to me. The Espada grow on me more and more as time passes by though.

The photo of the Jarama was taken at a strange angle. The Jarama is my favorite - but I’ve only been in 3 Lamborghinis in my life - all old.

The Countach is a high school shop project. Sloppy to say the least. Visibility (Out the front, but the interior was white) is horrible, the seats are made for one person who sits 5’8” and keeps the seat in that position (The seats didn’t work for anyone)

The Jalpa was exquisite. But even at the time I recall thinking that the Porsche 928 and the Toyota Supra of the time were far better buys, and far superior cars (For being a car). The Jalpa didn’t even corner like I thought it would.

But the Jarama. Ahh.. the Jarama. The interior was inspiring, the seating was comfortable without even touching an adjustment and the steering and balance were bar-none until my current BMW 3 series. For a handbuilt car it had no rattles, the panels fit and the stitching was without flaw.

And it started everyday.
