1968 Lamborghini Islero for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1968 Lamborghini Islero is a used car showing 59,650 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Verde Metallizzato with a Tan interior.

Ferruccio Lamborghini liked the Islero enough to use one as his everyday car. Chassis 6177 was sold new in Switzerland in 1968 with left-hand drive and soon went to the United States, a route many Isleros took. Its long-term American owner had it taken apart in the 1980s for a restoration he never saw through; stripped, it was sold from his estate, a US marque specialist worked on it, and it returned to Europe towards the end of the 1990s, then to Britain in 2004.

Its present owner then had Furlonger restore it completely in-house: stripped to the shell, every mechanical part removed, checked and renewed to original specification, the body taken to bare metal and repainted, the cabin retrimmed. Red when the work began, it now wears Verde Metallizzato over Tan, the colours of the Islero owned by Ferruccio's brother Edmondo. Photographs and invoices document each stage.

The car is located in Ashford, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Lamborghini Islero in the European market

Is this Lamborghini priced above or below the European market?

At £374,990, about €437,459, it sits above the median of €304,900 for the 525 Lamborghini advertised in Europe in 2026. 72% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Lamborghini be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Ashford, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Lamborghini Islero cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €26,027 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at £374,990, with no VAT basis stated by the seller, so no percentage comparison is given. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1969 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Lamborghini compare?

59,650 km recorded, against a median of 7,623 km across the Lamborghini advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Lamborghini are priced closest to this one?

a 2005 car in the United Kingdom at €438,687, and a car in Germany at €439,800. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Lamborghini Islero, and how does a purchase work?

Simon Furlonger, a professional dealer in Ashford, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Lamborghini Islero be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Ashford, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
