Italian industrialist Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the eponymous car manufacturer in 1963 with the intent to make sports cars that would rival the likes of Ferrari. Its first model was the 350 GT that was replaced in 1966 by the 400 GT.
Two years later, Lamborghini launched the Islero as a successor to the 400GT. The 2+2 grand tourer used the same engine as its predecessor, namely a 3.9-liter V12, and was styled by Carrozzeria Marazzi.
The Islero was kept in production for two years, and during that time, only 225 units were made, including 100 in ‘S’ spec. The latter benefited from a 25 HP bump in power, to 350 HP, and featured a larger hood scoop and fender flares.

Originally finished in Silver Grey on top of the Red leather interior, this Islero S was manufactured in 1969. It was bought by Garage Foitek in Switzerland, who sold it to its first official owner one month later.
Having changed hands a few more times over the years, chassis #6420 had its braking and cooling systems overhauled in 2016 by the Lamborghini dealer in St. Gallen, Switzerland, when it had 63,000 km (39,145 miles) on the clock, and also received new air and fuel filters. More recently, the fuel tank, carburetors, electrical systems and pop-up headlights were also refurbished.
Currently sporting a blue shade on the outside, this Islero S retains the original engine, according to the vendor. The classic GT is looking for a new home and Girardo has been charged with selling it again, having done the same three years ago. No asking price has been made available though, so interested parties will have to reach out to the vendor.
