Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1968 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 Coupe, chassis number 01273, is one of only 224 ever built. Originally Verde with a Senape interior, it was destined for the USA and has been sparingly used by its current owner since 2014. The car retains its matching-numbers engine and cylinder heads, has benefited from an older restoration, and is accompanied by documentation including a Lamborghini Certificate and original sales brochure.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in very good condition overall, benefiting from an older restoration. The bodywork is straight with good panel gaps, and the red paintwork is bright and in very good condition. The interior, trimmed in high-quality leather with woollen carpets, is also in very good condition with a nice patina. The driveline and mechanicals are strong, suggesting it doesn't require major mechanical work. The car rolls on Borrani wire wheels with older Pirelli tires, and the chromework is beautifully finished. However, it's mentioned that the car has had an older restoration and has a patina, which suggests it's not in pristine or near-perfect condition.

A successful manufacturer of tractors and related machinery, Lamborghini possessed the resources to realise his dream without having to compromise.
Lamborghini's first production car, the Carrozzeria Touring-styled 350 GT, debuted at the 1964 Geneva Motor Show.
The work of two of Italy's most illustrious automobile designers, the 350 GT featured a glorious 3.5-litre, four-cam V12 designed by Giotto Bizzarrini, housed in a chassis penned by Gianpaolo Dallara.
The 350 GT's four camshafts and all-independent suspension meant that it upstaged the best that Ferrari offered at the time, but to compete with his Maranello ri...
