1971 ISO Lele

[motec 6.9]

Now this is my idea of a car I have seen a Red one in Canberra I think it was one of the best GT cars of its era. Much prettier than Jensen or DeTomaso . Enjoy http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=SSE-AD-2901376&Cr=0

Truly a glorious looking car and probably goes like Memnoch with that motor and its light weight.

And you will note I saved pictures. There was the 7litre Grifo which did 300kmh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso_Rivolta

I love that, and so want it.

Yes I saw a Red one at Ray Gulsons in the 90's and wanted it so bad . Loan was rejected as it was $5000 above what bank would loan with other debts at the time.

Magnificent looking car with an interior that is much nicer than that of an Espada (Lamborghini). I am sure it is all hand built, yet the styling and execution of the dash and gearbox tunnel are are absolutely professional looking. BTW, is it a Rivolta or a Lele ? It says the first named on the back.

I am now speaking from memory - were these built by Frua ? The styling of the Fruas are quite similar. Regards Styria

Give me a Lamborghini Espada anytime.

Espada are you mad. . This car has a motor that does not require second mortgage to service. Espada makes owning Ferrari 400 seem cheap.

What you do is swap the Lambo engine for a small block Chevy

You might as well buy ISO then. I made the mistake when I couldn't get finance to buy Red ISO of buying Jensen Interceptor. As I said only stopped getting hate mail from buyer a few years ago after selling in 97. Lucas the prince of darkness was strong with that car.

That ISO is UGLY (in my eyes)

Trust me the Red one looked great . But you would prefer Grifo 7 litre one was sold by the Classic throttle shop Sydney a few years ago. http://www.classicandperformancecar.com/front_website/octane_interact/carspecs.php/?see=3738 http://mycarquest.com/2010/12/iso-grifo-7-liter.html

I just love the Espada clean lines.

A teacher at Radford College in Canberra had a Grey Espada in the late 80's . Used to see it in the car park when I drove a bus for Kiers of Canberra. At the time I was looking at the ISO at Gulsons they had a Gold Maserati Indi I thought that was a great looking car.
