  • One of 225 examples of the Islero; one of 100 in S form

  • Italian-market car in its original Bronzo Scuro Metallizzato over Senape leather

Addendum

Please note, this car requires mechanical inspection and a service of its brakes prior to being driven.

Veuillez noter que cette voiture nécessite une inspection mécanique et un entretien des freins avant d'être conduite.

Successor to the 400 GT, the Islero’s angular coachwork, while controversial in period, has benefitted from the passage of time. A design developed by Carlo Marrazzi, formerly of Touring, the Islero’s angularity facilitated improved interior space, refinement, and comfort. It retained its predecessor’s 3.9-litre V-12 engine fitted with six Weber carburettors to produce 330 horsepower.

Arriving in 1969, the Islero S upped power to an impressive 355 horsepower, and changes included six engine cooling vents on both front wings, flared wings, larger brakes, revised rear suspension, and an improved dashboard and interior. Just 225 Isleros were ever made, with a mere 100 of those being desirable later S cars.

This S is finished in its correct original Bronzo Scuro Metallizzato over a Senape interior. It was originally delivered to Milan in April 1969, and benefitted from a restoration in 2011 including a trim and wheel refresh, new carpets and headliner. Between 1976 and 2011 it resided in the United States, and was at some stage painted red, before being reverted.

Accompanied by correspondence, inspection papers, and its registration documentation, this S is noted to present in its original specification and therefore will prove a sought-after vehicle for both drivers and marque collectors.

Remplaçante de la 400 GT, l'Islero a reçu, avec sa ligne anguleuse, un accueil controversé à l'époque mais le passage du temps lui a été favorable. Dû à Carlo Marrazzi, ancien styliste de Touring, le dessin de l'Islero favorisait une bonne habitabilité et la voiture gagnait en confort et en raffinement. Elle reprenait le V12 de 3,9 litres de sa devancière, alimenté par six carburateurs Weber pour une puissance de 330 ch.

Apparue en 1969, l'Islero S affichait quant à elle 355 ch et elle bénéficiait de modifications comme six ouïes d'aération sur les ailes avant, des ailes plus larges, des freins plus gros, une suspension arrière revue et un aménagement intérieur amélioré. La production s'est limitée à 225 Islero, dont seulement 100 désirables versions S.

La présente S est dans sa couleur correcte d'origine "'Bronzo Scuro Metallizzato" avec intérieur "Senape". Elle a été livrée neuve en avril 1969 à Milan et a bénéficié en 2011 d'une restauration qui a inclus une réfection de la sellerie et des jantes, des moquettes et un ciel de toit neufs. De 1976 à 2011, elle était basée aux États-Unis et a été à un moment donné peinte en rouge avant de retrouver sa teinte d'origine.

Accompagnée de courriers, de documents d'inspection et de ses papiers d'immatriculation, cette Islero S se présente dans ses spécifications d'origine et sera par conséquent une voiture recherchée par les utilisateurs et les collectionneurs de la marque.
