One of my old Cars

Lamborghini Islero Vin #6267
I owned this beast for a short time in 2003-04. This is one of 125 produced in 1968-69. My driving impressions were that the car was not particularly agile but had more of a heavy feel (manual steering.) The transmission felt like it came from a tractor, which made sense since Lamborghini was a tractor producer and did not like the transmissions in his Ferraris. The ride was firm but comfortable.
This automobile has been restored to its original blue color and sold (again) in 2017

No, no. I believe the second owner after me did the restoration.

I looked at the 308 GT4 liked the styling, but the dual distributor turned me off.An early Ferrari 308 GT4, which was much more fun to drive.

The very very early ones did have the dual distributor but Ferrari switched to a single distributor fairly quickly, which is what mine had (Vin#10544.)
