    Thanks!

    Actually I am starting to like this look. Not like the real deal but not that bad!

    Very nice Marc! So good to see them surrounded with other cars in the real life. Makes them even more special.

    This is #6480, this car used to be in France, wich also can be seen by the yellow lights.

    Thanks for sharing Marc!

    My pleasure:

    I always liked Isleros and enjoyed driving the one that Motorcar Gallery in Fort Lauderdale had around 2003, 2004 when I was there every chance I had!

    best regards,

    Marc

    Emilio,
    it is #6507 that was belonging in this shape to a Belgian guy for years.
    I know that his italian friend (where the car was located) sold it in Italy...he said to Fabio Lamborghini, but Fabio never confirmed it to me... I have all these pictures too !

    I hope it is going to be restored... It is a shame to see such a car in such a bad state.

    Never heard about #6318 before...but it's good to know it shows off...

    If you want to buy inquire to Lou Herrin, it is reported in his survivors list : http://www.lamborghiniislero.com/

    What do you think about my last discovery (2 weeks ago) ?
    Not too bad...no, no, just what to make people afraid of Vintage car to be restored...

    Wow, very very impressive... Did the motor serve as a donor for another car?

    Did anybody else go to Geneva Classic this year?
    It was Aston Martin year, with many wonderful examples. No Lamborghini... Except my Islero in the parking!

    There are 2 engines with this car, one with a hole in the block. I've not seen them yet, only when I'll go and pick it up...

    Looks like it is an early Islero GT , any idea about the VIN yet ? Lou Herrin reports: "a gold Islero GT with blown engine, 2nd engine and some body pieces for restoration in France in 2000", is that the same car ?

    That is scary.

    Economically, it is a losing endeavor.

    Yes it is Kevin, but it is in fact Bronzo scuro/senape...and I did identified it with Lou's help like ever...and part my detective job, following previous owners...leading to a secret VIN number, as there is no more VIN plate or title !

    I bought it for 10.000 euro or 14.000 US$...it's a bargain and it still deserves it...
    It has no VIN plate & no title... but I have finally discovered its VIN... #6306
