Now the successor to the 400 series Lamborghini was arguably the better looking car. The original was maybe (i would have thought) a little polarising.
The Islero on the other hand had more of the aesthetic qualities that people associate with Italian sports cars from the era.
Having said that the 400 sold in slightly larger numbers than the Islero.
Lamborghini was still in its infancy when this car came about and only sold 225 examples before nipping it in the bud and moving on to the still weird looking Jarama.
The Islero was built in two version the standard and a later Isero S which is slightly rarer.
It is also more desirable as it came with an uprated v12 engine able to produce a very healthy 350 bhp as well as a few appreciated subtle styling changes.
Directly named Dream Auto have this lovely red Islero S example for sale at the moment.
Although no details are given on the history, price etc a previous ad advertised the car as looking for offers over 16 million yen.

If the car checked out and had matching numbers etc as well as low mileage and or a very extensive restoration then that price would be pretty reasonable i would have thought.
A stunning propositon.
