Here is something for the ULTIMATE Lamborghini enthusiast and something that you will not see in any other collection.
This Lamborghini V12 Marine engine too began with is an extremely rare item, some say less that 50 of them produced, then finding one that is running is even much much rarer. Let's remember that a lot of these not so many Lamborghini marine engines, ran in saltwater and many of them ended up as scrap back in the 80's & 90's and so on.
I had 2 of these done in Italy , I have engine #9 (here) and #10, which I am of course keeping one for my own personal collection and the other is here for sale.
These engines were purchased brand new from the factory as back up engines to a famous individual that loved boating and boat racing some time inthe mid to late 80's, they sat in their original crates until I purchased them out of Germany. Even though brand new and after many many years sitting in their crates both engines had to be completely broken down and gone through. All this was done under the careful watch of no one other than the World Famous Valentino Balboni. Obvioulsy the outcome speaks for itself.
This Special engine is currently sitting on the showroom floor at CURATED in Miami Florida.
Some video links below. I will say and owning many Lamborghini variants myself that you will not hear a more monstrous sounding V12 engine that runs as smooth as these marine engines do, it really is something to hear live in person and a sound that will not be forgotten. Tastefully adding the period correct Countach gauges was the final touch needed for this amazing display, ENJOY!!
