Chassis 0391 is a 1966 Lamborghini 350 GT — the marque's inaugural production model, introduced at the 1964 Geneva Salon and built in a total of just 131 units. Delivered new in Grigio Argento over Nero to the Milan dealer Lambrocar, it was first registered to Luigi Piotti, the Formula 1 driver who raced for Maserati and OSCA. The car has since undergone a thorough professional restoration in the Netherlands, including bare-metal refinishing by Autoclassica Rubbio and a fully renewed interior.
