Islero thread

What can you share about its life in Switzerland ?

I know already about it while in USA... and I would love to hear about 1st life in Italy....

 

Dark Bronze with mustard Interior and Air Condition. Body was delivered 7th August 1968 from Marazzi to Lamborghini and completed 3rd September.
2nd October it was delivered to Lambo Dealer Foitek and sold to Bader.
Later the car was owned by G.Kraxner with registration plates BE-261094. Mr. Kraxner died 1991 since then the car was unregistred and sold in 2000 to US.
I can share some pictures privately

 

Thank you Raymond, as you know I have the factory records + Lou + Joe's pics of restoration, all this is known for years to me, I'm speaking about its early early life in Italy before going to Switzerland....

You mentionned "Pina's collection" what's that ?

 

What a better way to start my hunting black board 2022 than with one of the car used by Ferruccio Lamborghini ?

About 8 to 10 years ago, with the little documentation in my hands I was doubtful about Islero GT #6201 linked to Ferruccio.

Since, I had the chance to interview many people, including Claudio Zampolli, but also to cross factory original builtsheet with other period documents.

Yes, #6201 has been driven by Cavaliere, it was a factory car - not belonging personnaly to him -.

He used it for 20 months and about 4.000 km before the factory sold #6201 to a US client, Mr Scott.

My interviews leaded me to discover it was his 1968 summer personal gift/toy in addition to his brand new Riva Aquarama... what a summer it has been...

Very proud and glad to have find its new home... La Forza del Toro...

Stunning color, Olivier.

Is it possible to get build information on a car? We continue to work on 6477 and hope to have it road-worthy by the summer.

Thanks,
Alex

 

Send me some pics including VIN via PM to [email protected] and I will send you what I have...

 

Curious about undercoating - is it preferable to apply it prior to installing suspension, etc. or after? What is the preferred product in today's world?

 

prior to install suspension

 

Olivier, I had hoped you would reply. That's what we figured. Is there a product you'd recommend for undercoating? Thanks!

 

epoxy paint

 

At last - a 1:18 scale Islero model ! Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere (couldn't see it in the collectibles section), but Cult has just released Metallic Brown and Silver Islero S replicas. They're resin-bodied, sealed, and very good indeed. I got one of each from Ebay. The Silver one is plentiful - but the Brown one is almost gone - so be quick..! See link for full details.

Hi, we're currently restoring Islero #6177 - is there any owners in the UK or further afield who can help us out with up-close and detailed images of certain areas? The car we are doing has had some changes in areas over the years, and I'd like to get it back to where it should be. Please feel free to message me.

 

You should contact my partner Iain Tyrrell as I have sent him 2x Islero to restore... pay him a visit...

 

is there any UK owners on here currently?

 

Did you contact Roger Wood ?

what about Iain Tyrrell ? I sent him one of my clients Islero for restoration, car is at the workshop in Chester...

 

The red/brown/maroon one reminds me of one which I drove in '88 or '89 (or 1990?) from Wiesbaden to Frankfurt. It was for sale/auction for DM 50.000 at a once-off show using the Horse Race Track. I found it accelerated like my 750cc bike!

 

Fantastic Olivier! Another nice Islero event coming up in NL in september

 

Correct Henk, I think we are going to break the record of 12 Islero's in 2010 ;-)

#6555 was indeed in need of a big restoration, looking to discover how it is by now.

Thanks to share some pics !

 

I will see if I can share pictures. There is soooooo much work done to this car it's insane. I have this car for sale if anyone interested for video + pictures. The story of this car very interesting. The car was sold new to Frau Lucy Fleckenstein, she traded her Ferrari 330 GTC and even bought another Lamborghini Islero S in grey chassis #6420. So she bought both #6420 then she bought #6555 (the car Im selling).
