Description
Very rare Lamborghini Islero Grand Tourer. There were only 125 first series and 100 Islero S built in 1968-1969!! This car is an original Belgian delivered car (Socaria) with matching numbers engine! Engine is completely rebuilt in less than 1000kms! Recent completely bare metal respray in the original Bronzo Scuro with completely original interior!! It was the replacement for the 400 GT and featured the Lamborghini V12 engine. The Islero was introduced at the 1968 Geneva Auto Show alongside the Lamborghini Espada. While both automobiles featured a 2+2 coupé body style, the Islero was intended to be a more visually conservative alternative to the then-radical Espada, in keeping with the traditional style of the earlier 400 GT. The car’s namesake, Islero, was a Miura bull that killed matador Manuel Rodriguez. Carrozzeria Marazzi was chosen to construct the Islero’s body. This firm was chosen as it was founded by Carlo Marazzi, a former employee of the now-bankrupt Carrozzeria Touring. Touring had previously produced bodies for the 350 GT and 400 GT. The firm was staffed by former Touring employees, along with Marazzi’s sons Mario and Serafino. Ferruccio Lamborghini was rumored to be the true designer of the body, dictating his requirements to Marazzi. The design was essentially a rebody of the 400 GT, with its good outward visibility, roomier interior, and additional soundproofing improving driver and passenger comfort compared to previous models. Real collectors item!! The car rides on an independent suspension with coilover shock absorbers, servo-assisted disc brakes, and 15” Campagnolo cast-magnesium wheels at all four corners, while the engine is fitted with six Weber carburetors and mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Inside, 2+2 seating trimmed in it’s original tan leather, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, air conditioning and power windows. Highly original matching numbers car with a certificate of origin from the Lamborghini Archivio Storico, factory literature, invoices and photos from the 2020-2024 restoration work. Real Gentleman’s GT!!
