Chassis 01285 is a Lamborghini 400 GT delivered new in December 1967 directly from the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory to a Dutch owner who had met Ferruccio Lamborghini in person. Finished in metallic blue over black leather, it remained in continuous single ownership for approximately fifty years, accumulating nearly 50,000 km during regular use in the Netherlands before moving to southern France for long-term storage from 1971.
