    1977 Lamborghini Silhouette
    11,591 Original Miles
    Original Red on Grey Cloth Interior
    Garage Find, "Survivor"
    1 of 54 Produced
    Factory Homologation, Press Photo Car and Toy Model Inspiration

    After years of being hidden away, Lamborghini Silhouette #40026 recently arrived to Curated, showing 18,655KMs, in Red with black exterior trim and original grey interior with original light grey cloth seats. The aggressive look of the Silhouette is extenuated with a unique front light setup, including stacked white and orange turn signal/parking lights lending to a real rally car appearance, unique to #40026 and only a few other Silhouette examples. Adding to it’s rarity, #40026 was actually the Lamborghini factory Homologation car and was used extensively in factory press pieces and as the inspiration for numerous die cast toy models.

    Originally delivered in February of 1977 to Deutche Lamborghini with a unique spoiler lip atop the boot and custom Ronal period wheels. We still haven’t confirmed the true story of the original wheels and spoiler but were informed by one historian that they were installed at on delivery or post delivery when new.

    Eventually, this Silhouette was then sent to the U.S. where it spent most of its life under the care of the Lamborghini Club President, Mr. Jim Heady.

    Today, #40026 is a true, 11,000 mile survivor that appears to be completely original. The paint and interior shows signs of age and patina, but the car comes complete and ready for preservation or full concours restoration.

    It current wears gold factory Bravo “telephone dial” wheels on Pirelli P7 tires which are period correct and set off well against the red body. The questionable, period custom Ronal wheels come with the car.

    As of today we have left the car as a survivor and did not even detail or clean it... Sorry about the directional but wanted to preserve the option of any work for the next owner.

    Thank you for the love!!

    OMG! I had pictures of the Silhouette on my bedroom wall when I was a kid (ripped out of some Lambo book). I freakin' love this car! Even looks great with the patina! Gandini's designs always resonated with me, this one being one of my favourites. I always wanted one of these, instead I had to settle for a Fiat X1/9 :) lol..

    GLWS!
