    #7042 was offered to me about 2 months ago.

    It is the 14th S1 made, bianco / nero.

    All original and matching numbers, but it is missing the rear grille of the vertical window.

    It was sold via dealer Italcar to aristocrat Marchese Talon back in 18/10/1968

    Hi Olivier,
    You were so kind to share the information you had in your files with me in 2016 when I started this restoration.
    I just looked up your email to me and found this you sent me..

    Builtsheet :

    Telaio #9234
    Motore #41273
    Bertone carrozzeria #943
    Colore : Oro / Testa moro
    Consegna : 27th march 1974
    Cliente : Lamborghini Inc.

    I'm finally getting the car together and started getting pictures of the numbers etc to make sure everything is matching.. Its been so long since we last spoke I totally forgot, or I'm just getting old..

    My engine is currently being rebuilt over at Gran Turismo Los Angeles, Giovanni Cusimano, and saw the engine block number which would be hard to see when assembled of course. Its matching. So much work these cars are to put back together properly.

    Is there any other information one could purchase on these cars for historical documentation etc?

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Best regards,
    Mike Kerns

    Hi Olivier

    One more question.

    Where the engine block is stamped the engine number, underneath that stamp is another number. What does this relate to?

    That depends on what you consider, chassis-No wise second last, last consigned, last chassis-no = 2nd last consigned.

    Glen did a tremendous effort and added all Production info into the ILR, Great Job.
    Thanks to this I was able to identify all swiss delivered cars, but still need to find them...

    Why fitting so wide tire ? you will increase aquaplanning and reduce traction torque due to the wider rubber on road...

    While owning S3 #9662, I had it prepared for the Balboni event in may 2018 and for the Espada 50th Anniversary Tour september 2018 factory event in Italy.

    I had these MICHELIN XWX 215 70 VR15 - respecting OEM - and they did perfectly the job (rain & sun) over 8.000 km that year.
