The vehicle is complete with driver’s wallet, containing the handbook and service book, copy previous V5. The previous owner moved to Guernsey in 1995, the vehicle following in 1999, by 2007 the mileage had increased to 43553 Kms, with very little use over the next 10 years, resulting in the mileage today. The vehicle has recently undergone a full interior retrim from beige to artic white, which complemented by the black exterior really makes the vehicle colour combination certainty stand out. The rear wing / spoiler has been removed and is available for the new owner.

The Jalpa was a development of the earlier Silhouette intended to fill a role as a more "affordable" Lamborghini, being much less expensive than the flagship Countach and being also designed by Bertone.

The Jalpa was fitted with a 3.5 L (210 cu in) double overhead camshaft version of the V8 engine used in the Silhouette on which it was based. The version used in the Jalpa produced 255 hp (190 kW; 259 PS)
