    I've seen in June this year at Top Motors-Italy the GT #6012, but it is not the same car...

    Whats with the air scoops on the side of #6012? that looks like a substantial restoration. Do you know what the cars condition was before the work started?

    it was already like that, but the restoration is not substantial, it is a full restoration bare to metal, bolts & nuts... the owner didn't want to have it back to original !

    Here's a pic of my engine. Completely rebuilt and ready to
    go back in. As usual the car went to the shop for something small, a problem
    With one if the brake boosters, but ended up with a full engine rebuild!

    This artcurial car seems to have some sort of after market devised front air dam/ spoiler...
    Has anyone seen this car in person yet? What is the cars actual condition. The auction estimate seems conservative?

    Hi all,

    normally I am in the M-Section as I own several old Maseratis.

    But my friend owns Islero VIN #6000 (prototipo) since 1999 and due to his age he thinking of letting it go to another keeper.

    He is not a "computer-guy", so it´s my turn here in this section.

    What he would most like is, that someone, who cares and drives the car, should have it.

    He is in no hurry and surely knows the market very well.

    Dealer and flippers are more or less out.

    The car is in the same condition as shown in post #5, but only 12 years older with a little bit more patina.

    It´s regular driven, if the weather condition allows it.

    Hans

    Here is a link to Jay Leno's Garage featuring Adam Corolla's Islero.
    Leno hops behind the wheel of Adam Carolla's 1968 Lamborghini Islero

    Adam had purchased Donald Osborne's Islero #6267 at Gooding Monterey a few years ago. The one in the video appears to be a different Islero, while Corolla admits that they changed the color on the car he mentions that it was originally Silver, the interior is also completely different than #6267. The only thing that matches #6267 is the steering wheel. So one would assume that Corolla purchased another Islero. Anyone know the vin?

    Hi there guys,
    I was just wondering if anybody out there happens to know much more about 6189-S. It seems like a slightly odd (and therefore intriguing) car!

    Olivier will chime in. Car was delivered new in Belgium. In the early 70's appeared in Australia as a RHD 'S'. Last heard from in about 1999 by Lou Herrin supposedly heading back to the UK.

    I, also, would like further info. It appears that this may be another case of a new car receiving an old cars VIN to avoid taxes.

    very well sold for its general condition, drivable as is...

    incorrect color, incorrect interior, engine must be rebuilt + engine bay detailing, front spolier non original !

    I'm pleased to see Islero growing in value with that restoration base at 290.000 €, so it means that a perfectly restored Islero worthes almost 400.000 €

    I know such perfect one for sale, if someone is interested, just PM me.

    January 2015, Islero GTS sold by Artcurial went for +/- 300.000 € including fees, it is a car to be used as is, but for the real collector it is a car to be restored in its original factory livery because paint & interior are not original, engine needs rebuilt, the whole think was not looking great, front spoiler is not original, and so on... New owner contacted the factory to have more info about his purchase and confirm his intention to restore it, at least for 100.000 € budget.

    Since another Islero has been sold in Belgium, #6228, 1st week of March to a German collector for 340.000 €.

    At Essen, #6357 black Islero GT offered by Movendi went for 350.000 € (in need of restoration to match originality at 50.000 €) and very nice original green Islero GT sold by Klima Lounge went for 400.0000 €.

    Definitevely you can compute it how you want, the Islero price market in 2015 is : 400.000 € for a nice original car or a restored car.

    Here's the same car 5 years ago at the Islero meeting in Maastricht. At that time it was a one family car since new and I believe it still is today.

    A bit quiet here lately so here is something I found recently: From the Australian newspaper January 10, 1970. Probably 6441 but could be 6438.
