1969 Lamborghini Islero S

6411roadItaly

Engine: 3.9L V12 with six Weber carburettors, 355 bhp
Colour: Dark bronze metallic ('Bronzo Scuro Metallizzato')

The Lamborghini Islero S is a rare grand tourer of which only 100 examples were built, powered by a 3.9-litre V-12 producing 355 horsepower. Designed by Carlo Marrazzi, formerly of Carrozzeria Touring, the S variant introduced wider bodywork, enlarged brakes, revised suspension, and a refined interior. This particular car was delivered new to Milan in April 1969, finished in Bronzo Scuro Metallizzato over a Senape interior, and spent several decades in the United States before a 2011 restoration returned it to original specification.
