Years ago, we featured a Jarama styled like a Bizzarrini, but its origins were unclear. Now, another example has surfaced, believed to be one of three such “experiments.”

This car is a one-off hand-built prototype based on a 1971 Lamborghini Jarama GT 400, modified in 1972. The project was commissioned by A. Morelli, a business partner of the Giotto Bizzarrini. The base vehicle was an almost-new Jarama at the time, and the goal was to create a car reminiscent of Bizzarrini’s P 538 race cars, but with a front engine configuration rather than the mid-engine layout of the original P 538.

Three unique cars were built on Lamborghini frames, all featuring V12 engines. Each car was slightly different, making each one unique. The bodies were crafted in aluminum by Giancarlo Guerra, a well-known craftsman from Carrozzeria Scaglietti who was instrumental in creating many Ferrari 250 GTOs. This particular car, the first of the three, was never fully completed and remained in the possession of Mr. Morelli. Initially designed as a fastback coupe with a Targa roof, this car underwent a transformation into a barchetta-style vehicle during the building process. Despite being in running condition, it was never fully finished, leaving it as a rare, unfinished but beautiful piece. Find it for sale here in Dietachdorf, Austria.
