350/400GT thread

Marcel, you're doing a very nice work on those cars, thanks again (and I was happy to contribute to it as well ;-) ).

 

If anyone is interested in a very early 400GT,fully restored to original color combination "St. Vincent grey - tobacco interior",please send me a pm. The restoration will be finished in april. For real interest persons, i can share photos from the restoration process. The work is done by several very specific italian Lamborghini workshops which are since many years in touch with classic Lamborghinis. The restoration was supervised by Valentino Balboni.

 

You make us curious ;-)

Is it a large rear window car 400 GT, or a small rear window car 400 GT 2+2?

 

Small rear window!

 

Thanks to everyone who shared infornation about the 350 GTS. The short appearance of 0328 resulted in quite an interesting discussion!

 

Marcel, your huge amount of effort in creating the Registro is much appreciated.

Some updated info for you on #0358 : is was originally Azzurro Fiat metallizzato with Nero interior when supplied to Europe in 1966 but was changed to silver by Ross Therrien in 1970s shortly after arriving in Canada and before going to Ken Browning, a founding member of Lamborghini Club of Canada. Following recent completion of a 3 year total strip-down and rebuild, it is now returned to original factory specification, with assistance from Cristina and Valentino.

It is currently available in the UK if anyone interested wants to pm me.

Ciao
Martin

Yes! you are right! Completely forgot about the pictures of the car in white! Thanks for the reminder..;-)

 

Hi Olivier, since you know the collection, do you have any idea wich chassis number the grey/red 350 GT in the video can be? Looks like an early car...thought it could be #0104, but that car might still be in Switzerland?

Mercie Fabrice! I guess it's all about sharing our passion, and I'm just trying to collect it all and put the pieces in the right place in the big puzzle ;-)

 

Marcello,

Again, compliments to you for your efforts, which should be recognized.

My son & I have just sold the sublimely beautiful 350 GT 0223 from a gentleman collector to another in the USA, for a record sum, via Private Treaty.

The details must remain private, so please contact me offline for the relevant information.

What appear to be the remains of an Autosonic universal CM41 aerial are in evidence in both images of #328.

Good point! Hifi expert? The real music comes from the V12 ;-)

 

No these aerials were a popular retro fit and are simply a useful identifier...

 

like in the video, I've no idea, no autorisation to discover the VIN

 

Another long lost 400 GT finally surfaces: 1966 Lamborghini 400 GT 'Interim' by Touring | Villa Erba 2017 | RM Sotheby's Thanks Paul for letting me know ;-)

Great car, great colours.

 

Wonderful, thank you! Is also steering wheel 'Interim'?

 

Definitely not the right steering wheel. You would think after all that labor that they would put in the correct steering wheel. Now you have to say, what else is incorrect?

 

May I kindly ask, what is a real 350/400GT Interim?
Is it a car:
1) with Lamborghini trans installed instead of the ZF trans
2) a car that originally had an L351 engine installed and later came back to factory for installing the L401 engine
3) a car that originally came with the L401 engine
4) a car that came with 350 body, 400 frame, L401 engine and Lambo trans?

Interim does not seem an official Lamborghini specification. Changings were made during the production.
Would it be better to use the term 'last edition' for the cars listed at number 4)?

 

As you mentionned, there were many modifications from the 1st 400 GT up to the last 23rd 400 GT, so called by collectors as "Interim"...

The 400 GT was a model offered by Lamborghini, despite the fact there is none factory brochure or documentation, but they are several publicity made by the period dealers/importers... following indications of Ubaldo Sgarzi, sales manager.

The definition of a 400 GT is a car made by Touring & Lamborghini at the plant on "Linea Montaggio" :

* 350 body & frame

* L401 engine

 

But there are several cars with a 400GT frame and a 350GT body

 

they have exactly the same frame, no difference between 350 & 400... even the Islero has the same frame...

 

I thought they had longer wheelbase?
