1964 Lamborghini 350 GT
- Colour
- Dark midnight blue ('Blu Notte') over tobacco leather
The Lamborghini 350 GT was the marque's first production model, introduced at the 1964 Geneva Motor Show with a Bizzarrini-designed engine, Dallara-engineered chassis, and Touring-built coachwork. This particular example is among roughly 80 cars bodied in aluminium using the Superleggera method, making it lighter and more desirable than later steel-bodied cars. Delivered new in 1965 in a reportedly unique Blu Notte over Tabacco leather specification, it retains matching chassis, engine, and gearbox numbers and was comprehensively restored between 2013 and 2016, subsequently winning First in Class at the 2016 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
