Urraco in Oz

-

Convoy’s 1976 Earl’s Court Motor Show Urraco, chassis number 15992, started life as a 1975 P250 with a 2.5-litre V8. It’s believed the coupe was unsold, instead being returned to the factory and converted in 1976 to a P300 ( one of four). It was consigned to a UK importer and bought by Australian­s in London before being exported to Brisbane, where it remained for three decades. In that space, it was repainted green, red and, more recently, yellow. The well-travelled Urraco, by now wearing Victorian registrati­on UBA 776, changed hands in 2015 for $175,000.
