This car was sold new in late 1979 by Hubert Hahne, the primary Lamborghini dealer in Europe at the time. The original owner of 112.1094 is unknown (after 12 years to trying!). The car apparently stayed in Germany until 1984 when it was imported into the USA as an “exempt” car. Thus, it has no emission equipment and is essentially “European stock” in all respects except side marker lights. I have all the DOT, EPA and US Customs paperwork and these have been verified by DOT’s importation expert (Dick Merritt actually signed the DOT forms for this car when it came into the USA).
The second owner of the car had it only a short time but put a hole in one piston and his Florida bank repossessed the car. The car was then bought by a former employee of Jaguar who had considerable automotive experience and owned other exotic cars. He rebuilt the motor and attended to many other details. The car went through a dealer in Virginia for a short time and then went to the owner of a small car collection on Long Island, NY. The car was driven little over several years. He sold it to a reputable dealer in western Connecticut (Forza) and I bought the car from Peter Sweeney at Forza. Thus, I seem to be the 5th owner (not including the Florida bank and two dealers).
