A 1968 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2, chassis 01321, is one of only 247 examples built between 1966 and 1968, featuring Touring coachwork, a 3,929cc four-cam V12 producing 320bhp, and a five-speed Lamborghini gearbox. Originally delivered to the United States on 22 January 1968, it passed through Dutch dealer The Gallery Aaldering before entering a period of static display. Subsequently restored and refinished in Azzurro Fiat over natural tan leather, the car has since been mechanically recommissioned for road use.

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.
