Lamborghini has been associated with over-the-top mid-engined cars for so many decades now--Miura, Countach, Diablo, Gallardo--it's easy to forget that the company's original stock-in-trade was in very quick GT cars with a traditional front-engine, rear-drive driveline. One of the least-known Lamborghini models, the Islero GT is generally agreed to be the company’s hidden gem. Only 226 were built – including 100 of the powerful “S” editions represented here. The vehicle is in exceptional condition. Powered by its original V12 engine producing 350hp and coupled to its original smooth shifting 5 speed Manual transmission. the vehicle has independent front and rear suspension by unequal length A-arms with coil springs, adjustable shocks and anti-roll bars, hydraulic disc brakes front and rear and sits on a wheelbase of 100.4". The “S” version includes side vents, suspension and braking improvements and more power. The redesigned cabin features air conditioning and higher-backed, more comfortable seats, as well as improved instruments and switchgear. The original Blaupunkt Blue Spot radio still works well, and the rich leather interior is superb. This is a beautifully restored, low-mileage, matching-numbers example.
