Launched at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show and named after a region of Spain famous for its fighting bulls, the Jarama would be the last of Lamborghini's front-engined road cars for many years. Powered by Lamborghini's 4.0-litre quad-cam V12 engine, this new 160mph four-seater abandoned its maker's existing spaceframe chassis in favour of a platform-type unitary construction, based on the Espada's but of shorter wheelbase. An unusual styling feature was the nose with its quadruple headlamps partially obscured by electrically raised covers. The Jarama was styled at Carrozzeria Bertone by Marcello Gandini, the man responsible for the Miura, but with bodies assembled by Marazzi. An improved 'S' version, with 365bhp V12 engine, appeared in 1972, while later developments included Torqueflite automatic transmission and power-assisted steering. The Jarama continued in production until 1976, by which time 327 cars had been built, 150 of them to 'S' specification.

A desirable manual-transmission model, this left-hand drive Jarama 'S' was acquired by the late owner in May 1980 at 57,000 kilometres, the previous keeper listed being Burmah Castrol c/o BOTL, Swindon. The Lamborghini was purchased for £6,600 via dealer Nick Shrigley-Feigl of Knutsford Cheshire, at which time it was registered 'UCA 291V'. The Jarama remained with NS-F for several years, undergoing a repaint (colour change), bodywork repairs, retrim and new carpets in the early 1980s, these works adding a further circa £6,000 to the cost. The car was registered as 'VF 25' in 1982.

In 1983 the late owner returned from Saudi Arabia, where he had worked for the British Aircraft Corporation, and became a permanent UK resident. The car's regular maintenance was then entrusted to Ferdi's Garage of Lytham, Lancashire, whose bills for the period 1985 to 2019 are on file. A new clutch was fitted in 2005 at 67,000 kilometres, while the most recent invoice was for new tyres and wheel refurbishment by Modern Classics Ltd, Lytham in 2022 (£2,600). Also on file is an original sales brochure; a V5C Registration Certificate; and numerous old MoTs, one of which records an odometer reading of 55,000 kilometres in 1979. The car was last MoT'd in 2018 at 68,800 kilometres (the current reading is 69,016 kilometres). Please note the cherished registration number 'VF 25' is being retained and sold separately.
