At the time this was one serious sports car, fitted with a variety of 6
cylinder engines ranging from 3.5ltr’s up to 4ltr’s with increasing power from
235 to 255 bhp. Meaning top speed of 140mph, equivalent to any contemporary Ferrari
for Lamborghini. It even came with disc brakes all round and a five speed
gearbox as standard on all models.
Now let’s get back to that stunning coachwork, designed by Pietro Frua
and Giovanni Michelotti it was offered originally only in aluminium but in 1967
it was oddly also offered in steel. One thing of note out of the 125 drop stop
built only 20 were right hand drive.
This car quiet literally made me stop in my tracks at last year’s
Lancaster Classic Motor Show.
