A 1966 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2, chassis 0595, completed at the factory on 21 July 1966 and originally finished in Silver Grey with black interior for the Swiss market. One of only 247 examples built between 1966 and 1968, it was delivered new to Garage Foitek in Zürich. The car passed through few hands over the following decades, spending its later life in Germany, where a subsequent owner had it restored and repainted black with a matching interior. It retains an original-type engine and is accompanied by Swiss and German documentation.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
