Description

  • Lamborghini’s highly stylish 2+2 grand tourer; a symbol of 1960s automotive design
  • One of just 224 examples of the 400 GT 2+2 produced between 1966 and 1968
  • Retains its matching-numbers 3.9-litre V-12, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox
  • Wears the factory-correct colour combination of Grigio Medio over Tabacco hide

The Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 offered here is noted by an accompanying copy of a factory-issued Certificate of Origin, dated 10 October 2014, to have been manufactured in September 1966, placing its build towards the start of the model’s short 1966 to 1968 production run. During that time, just 224 examples were constructed. Chassis 0670 left the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory finished in Grigio Medio over a Tabacco leather interior, a colour combination it retains today.

While not much is known about the early years of this car, a copy of a state title from Virginia, USA reflects that it was owned in Charlottesville in the late-1980s before being exported to Frederica, Denmark in 1988. The car has since been registered in France, with the current custodian a frequent competitor in historic motorsport. Fittingly, when it came for the Lamborghini to be serviced in August 2022, they took the car to AGS Racing, the modern-day revival of the ex-Formula 1 team. An invoice (available to view on file) shows maintenance work, including a brake refresh, plus the fitment of a new exhaust and fuel pump, totalling €13,717.

Benefiting from an older restoration while retaining its factory colour combination and matching-numbers 3.9-litre V-12, this supremely elegant 2+2 grand tourer would be a fine addition to any collection of Italian rarities.

Please note a new title has recently been applied for, as such there may be a delay to the successful bidder receiving the title post-sale.
