    Bruno,

    You will notice the Islero GT is an early one with the side skirt brushed alu, just a few models got that specification, as my ex #6009 had too (but were painted in their life)

    Absolutely wonderful! Was it the one that was for sale in Monaco a few years ago with the wire wheels?

    No it was GTS #6558 sold at Monaco

    this one is a Belgian car well known by me, belonged to my father's best friend - 1st owner, but yes this one had wire wheels too before swaping for the good ones !

    somebody contacted me about this Islero for sale in Barcelona => LAMBORGHINI ISLERO LeMans 1969 | Auto Storica

    it is VIN #6486, that I know since august 2007 when I saw it as a restoration project at Edmond Ciclet’s place (the top Lambo mechanic in France for last 48 years).

    Built sheet :
    Telaio #6486
    Marazzi carrozzeria #162
    Colore : Bleu / Senape
    Consegna : 18/06/1969
    Cliente : Mr Lamy – V.P.M. - Francia

    I didn't buy it at that time because it wasn't the "LE MANS Islero".

    I sold that GTS #6486 to Auto Storica in August 2014 when it was already half restored by Lecoq in France.

    For unknown reason, it is labelled as the "LE MANS Islero" which is FALSE...

    Paul Rilly's racing Islero was a GT and not a GTS as Bellu's book demonstrated but also because I spent 20 years to chase the real one untill I found it end of december 2008.

    The only one true "LE MANS Islero" is #6009, fully documented !!!

    here is the only picture of Paul Rilly's racing Islero GT featured in Bellu's book back in 1987 when internet was not existing and nobody knew about others pictures, that I have collected all over Europe since !

    Olivier, were you able to get a copy of the Motor magazine of December 1968? Is so, could you send me a copy? I am very interested in this article.

    BTW - does there exist any platform to exchange article about the ISLERO? I have myself a couple of prints from the late 60s and early 70s.

    I think it would be worth that Lou Herrin site ( Lamborghini-Islero.com ) gather this type of information.

    It is indeed still owned by the same family, Friends of mine.
    Not sure but think it may be one of the only RHD cars still in existence!
