Debuting at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show, the Bertone-styled Jalpa was produced between 1981 and 1988. This example is believed to have been refinished in its current shade of red during prior ownership, and the seller notes color variation between the body and engine cover.

Debuting at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show, the Bertone-styled Jalpa was produced between 1981 and 1988. This example is believed to have been refinished in its current shade of red during prior ownership, and the seller notes color variation between the body and engine cover. Features include a removable roof panel, pop-up headlights, fog lights, side skirts, and dual exhaust outlets.
16″ Ruote O.Z. wheels are finished in silver and are wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.
The cabin is trimmed in black leather with red piping on the seats, door panels, and center console along with black carpets and a black upper dash panel. Features include a gated shifter, power windows, air conditioning, a Sony cassette stereo, a digital Jaeger clock, and a BEL radar detector.
A three-spoke steering wheel frames an inoperative 280-km/h speedometer, an oil pressure gauge, and a 9k-rpm tachometer, while Jaeger gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and fuel level are mounted above the center stack. Approximately 29k kilometers (~18k miles) are shown on the six-digit odometer, approximately 300 kilometers of which have been added by the owner.
The transverse-mounted 3.5-liter L353 quad-cam V8 is equipped with four two-barrel Weber carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The clutch was replaced and carburetors were rebuilt in 2019. The car was last serviced under current ownership with an oil change according to the seller, who notes an occasional stumble when throttle is applied before the engine is fully warm.
