We share common interests, problems, and concerns, and are beginning to work together to keep our Isleros on the road. In the mid-'60s, we thought the Italian cars, as an art form and as a technological achievement would go on, forever represented by limited production jewels and coachbuilding diversity. Most of us were just graduating from high school or college in the late '60s when the Isleros were rolling off the production line and for many of us they were a dream car, something that we might have lusted after in a black and white magazine picture but something that we never expected to get to see in the flesh. The world may have moved on, but the emotion called up by Italian automotive art is here to stay. Several Isleros have changed owners and many restorations are progressing.
Any new information is VERY welcome and pictures are especially useful.
Many thanks to all of you who have helped with this project. This issue's feature is to focus on some of the details of the first series Isleros that might differ from one to the next, and on changes that were subtly made during the series. Be sure to check out the Lamborghini websites noted in the links below, as for instance, John Steacie shows much progress on his Islero that he is documenting the restoration of. As I am trying to maintain this webpage for the benefit of all, please keep the info coming. USA Visible here is a factory sunroof, one of perhaps 10 that were made this way.
