There are lots of pictures of the car, both from the movie and how it looks today, on a dedicated web gallery - CLICK HERE. Lamborghini only built 100 examples of this model, the Islero S, and this is one of only 2 that went to the UK. The actual car from the film (chassis #6432) has been restored to perfection and is still in the UK in private ownership. Isleros in this condition today are valued upwards of $150,000 US (one sold at auction in Monterey for $203,000; and recently the Islero that once belonged to Feruccio Lamborghini himself is reputed to have sold for around $250k). The Islero is regarded by many as one of the best cars Lamborghini ever built, and indeed was the favourite of Feruccio himself. The simplicity and purity of the design exudes power and style without being overly flambouyant.

And you can buy it!!!!!!!!! This actual car (the one from the movie) will be sold alongside the James Bond Aston DB5 from Goldfinger and Thunderball, in London on 27 Oct, 2010 at the "Automobiles of London" sale - see www.rmauctions.com I wish I could afford to be the one who takes it home with me. Has to be the coolest car on the planet. |

Yes. Apparently only 5 RHD were made - all Islero S, none of plain Islero. The other UK car was 1969 Islero S, chassis 6435, engine 50140, in gorgeous bright yellow, registered WG 600 (original owner was Sir William Garthwaite, and it stayed in Garthwaite family until at least 2017) - info here, including its paperwork Bahamas connection. |
