The Lamborghini 350 GT was Lamborghini’s first production car, built between 1964 and 1966. Designed by Carrozzeria Touring, it featured a 3.5L V12 engine producing 280 hp, allowing a top speed of around 155 mph (250 km/h). With a luxurious yet sporty design, it was created to challenge Ferrari’s dominance in the grand tourer segment. Only 120 units were produced, making it a rare and highly collectible classic that laid the foundation for Lamborghini’s future success.

Today in Singapore. Originally delivered 7 Apr 65 to March Gerini through Lamborcar in Milan, Italy. sold to none other then the well known Bournemouth based Ferrari dealer Ronny Hoare, a compliment to Lamborghini in itself, no doubt to see how the Lamborghini compared to the Ferrari cars of the day. In 1967, this car passed to Mr. Clifford Johnson of Sevenoaks who in turn sold 0172 to Mr. Ivor Hallbart-Bristol in 1969. Hallbart-Bristol embarked on the conversion of this motor car to right hand drive configuration. The only modification to the standard layout was the changing of the speedometer which at this time read some 15,000 kms to a UK milometer. Since 1969, this superb car has only covered a further 24,000 miles making a total mileage of some 35,000 miles from new. Purchased by its next owner in 1972 and registered FDG464C, this rare and very original motor car has been cherished and maintained by its owners for the past 36 years and still retains all original features and interior. Accompanying the motor car is, as one would expect, an extensive history file with many early invoices both from the Lamborghini factory and Portman garages, the main UK agents for Lamborghini.

Ferruccio Lamborghini. This 1965 Lamborghini 350 GT is not only one of many illustrious sports cars to bear Ferruccio Lamborghini’s surname; it was built specially for the Italian industrialist himself. After several years of neglect, it’s now been returned to its original splendour – unique factory modifications and all… As the likes of Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman and David Brown have shown us, one of the natural perks of owning your own car company includes being able to use special, one-off or pre-production cars on your daily commute. And why would it be any different for Ferruccio Lamborghini who, in 1965, was happily witnessing his first production model, the Lamborghini 350 GT, rolling off the line at an increasing pace? Exercising his CEO status as any of us would, Ferruccio selected chassis #0265 as his new company car at some point after it had returned to the factory from Milan, where it had been mated to its steel Superleggera body by Carrozzeria Touring. He subsequently instructed his men to install several mechanical upgrades. However, this wasn’t merely to symbolise his status; Ferruccio’s 350 GT would also effectively become a rolling test-bed for improvements that would help inform those applied to the 400 GT 2+2, which wasn’t to be revealed until the 1966 Geneva Motor Show the following year. It was equipped with revised versions of the ZF gearbox and Salisbury differential and, perhaps in the knowledge that the steel-bodied 2+2 would be heavier and require more power, a new 4-litre V12. Ferruccio would certainly have enjoyed the combined merits of more potent V12 when blasting through the switchbacks of Sant’Agata Bolognese which, due to the esteem in which the local law enforcement held him, had become his personal testing grounds. Eventually, the 350 GT was inevitably moved on, and it found a new owner in the USA who was equally ambitious as Ferruccio, yet thankfully not as industrious. Perhaps unaware of the car’s provenance (or ignorant to its importance), the American had the crackpot intention of trying to convert it into some kind of pseudo-Miura, using bits and pieces from other models. As fate would have it, he never managed to complete the sacrilege – however, the car was left in a broken-down state for an extended period, in desperate need of expert hands to massage it back to life. Interestingly, it was only after purchasing the car that the current owner discovered its provenance, and duly commissioned Touring to complete a full restoration. As the Milanese coachbuilder had not only bodied the car in period but also still uses the same production processes, it was selected for its expertise and faithfulness to originality, along with its respect towards any remaining body panels that could be sympathetically salvaged rather than hurriedly replaced. After a two-year restoration, the 90-year-old Carrozzeria has now returned the car to the original splendour in which Ferruccio originally enjoyed it – just in time for what would have been his 100th birthday. “The owner entrusted us with this car because it has an exceptional intrinsic historical value,” says Andrea Dragoni, in charge of both this project and Touring’s Classic Car Department. “Initially, it seemed impossible to complete a car that was so badly damaged, had been abandoned for years and was missing quite a few parts. Our knowledge of the model, alongside the amazing capabilities of our team, allowed us to deliver a final product of which we are exceptionally proud, and this 350 GT is once again free to maraud through the winding roads of Sant’Agata Bolognese – just as it did during Ferruccio’s ownership.” | |||||||

With only 90,000km from new and finished in Silver/Black the car was abandoned in 1975 in a private parking space after an accident that took the nose off and did other damage as well. The car was in France and for sale in 2000 through www.carclassic.com. Now repaired and repainted light blue and retrimmed in matching hide during restoration in 2008. The car has had relatively few owners and has been driven sparingly, and is in generally good condition, running and driving well.

RM Auction Monaco May 2016 The car offered here, chassis number 0391, was, according to Lamborghini factory information on file, originally finished in Grigio Argento over Nero and delivered new on 13 May 1966 to Lambrocar, the official dealer in Milano. As it remains today, it was fitted with body number 18557 and equipped with engine number 0364, as well as a five-speed ZF manual transmission; both the engine block and chassis stampings have been inspected and appear correct. The first owner is recorded as Luigi Piotti of Milano, believed to have been the racing driver who participated in eight Formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix during this era, driving for the Maserati and OSCA Works teams, amongst others. It fits nicely into the impressive lineage of cars he had owned over the years, which previously included purchases new of both a Ferrari 250 Monza and 250 MM! More recently, the car underwent a complete professional restoration by specialists in the Netherlands. As part of this work, the body was removed from the frame, and all technical components are reported to have been fully addressed and restored. An all-new interior was fitted, and the body, having been stripped to bare metal, was refinished by the well-regarded facility of Autoclassica Rubbio. According to an RM Sotheby’s specialist who inspected the completed car, the work presents beautifully, with the finish in the original colour, set off stunningly by restored chrome wire wheels shod in blackwall tyres. The odometer records 69,576 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.

Specially ordered by an Italian engineer and supplied with the 3.5-litre engine for tax reasons. The Lamborghini was sold in France two years later. Victim of a serious accident, he offered the car to his physiotherapist for having restored the use of his legs. It was then stored for nearly 20 years, before auctioning it off in Bordeaux in 2012. Guy Cazelle - of L’Atelier des Sportive, purchased #0412 and got it going again with the help of the brand's great specialist, Edmond Ciclet, after a complete overhaul of the engine. In 2014 Cecil Cars bought it. According to several relevant sources (including Valentino Balboni, the brand's test driver), the car has matching numbers (chassis number 0412). It has 83,114 km on the clock. Its metallic coral red paint and the chrome are in good condition. The brown leather upholstery is in good original condition with a nice patina and the carpets have been replaced.

He owned the car until November 1971 (copy of the Italian registration is present). Through an Austrian car dealer and specialist for Italian sports cars, Ing. Horst Pichler, the car was sold to its second owner from Wels, Austria, who had it registered and took care of it for no less than 47 years, until 2013. The last official Austrian inspection sticker, issued in 1974 (still on the car), is the proof that the technical control should have taken place in March 1975. However, the car was previously stored and has never been used again. Incidentally, the original Austrian registration papers are still present. During an eviction of a property in 2013, the car was parked in a shed – along with other vehicles – and in 2014 the car was sold through Hödlmeyer Classic Car Center to an Austrian connoisseur who delivered the Lamborghini to the specialists Barcelli & Villa, Salvioli, William Gatti and Stefano Maieli in Italy to restore it and was finished in 2016. The car was actually beautiful then, but not good enough for the next and Dutch owner. Several things he did not like was brought to the highest possible standard by the professionals of Classic Skills www.classicskills.nl Their policy is “perfection and authenticity without compromise” and that is exactly what they have applied. With the assessment “a beautifully restored 350 GT” we would not tell the right decribtion. This has become a meticulous restoration, resulting in a world-class car. The connoisseur knows that only the true professional can do a job like this, because it is a hell of a task to be able to keep up with the extremely high quality requirements down to the last nut and bolt. Then it is extra pleasant to know that the owner and restorer were thinking on the same level and were working together until the very best is achieved. This process started in early 2018 and was completed more than 1.5 years later with the intention of participating in the Schloss Dyck Masterpieces and Style in 2020. But that did not take place. Extensive documentation of all the work that has been done is of course available and the originality is proven by the issued Certificazione di Autenticita, which shows that the car has matching numbers and matching colors. Incidentally, this is one of the first Lamborghini’s worldwide for which a certificate has been issued. From the deep shine of the Grigio Argento paintwork that the perfect fitted panels (which in this latest version is partly made of aluminum and partly steel) accentuates the sharp lines of the elegant body. Or should we say artwork? Because this is on at least the same level as a wall-hanging masterpiece. The same experience continues in the beautiful interior. The sporty yet chic design, together with the best quality leather and top-quality chrome finish, creates an unparalleled experience that only an Italian classic can bring about. Driving is of course also a thrill itself. The 286 bhp 3.5-liter 12-cylinder transmits its great torque through the wonderfully shifting ZF 5-speed gearbox to the Salisbury rear axle with limited slip differential. The all-round independent suspension provides excellent road holding to enjoy the driver and his passenger.

Finished in Rosso Alfa over tan leather, it was acquired from a previous owner in Orange County, California. Completely original at the time of purchase, the 400 GT retains its matching-numbers 4-liter V-12 and has more recently been the subject of a ground-up restoration by noted Lamborghini expert Gary Bobileff, who has maintained this great car since 1976.
