One of just 247 examples built, this car represents the pinnacle of Lamborghini’s early success, designed to offer the perfect balance of elegance, comfort, and thrilling performance that defined the golden era of Italian motoring. Exquisitely finished in its original factory colour of Grigio Saint Vincent, the shimmering metallic grey exudes sophistication and highlights the timeless Bertone-designed curves. Paired with its beautifully preserved original cinghiale hide interior, the car’s rich tan upholstery provides a luxurious contrast to the exterior, encapsulating the meticulous craftsmanship that has become synonymous with Lamborghini. Every detail of this car reflects its exclusivity, from the elegant lines of its exterior to the carefully preserved textures of its cabin. This 400 GT has covered just 13,400 miles from new, a remarkable testament to its carefully curated life. Its authenticity and outstanding condition are further enhanced by a full bare metal respray during its restoration, ensuring the exterior remains vibrant and well-presented. The restoration work carried out by DD Classics, renowned for their expertise in preserving the originality and integrity of iconic vehicles, has ensured that this car remains both an exceptional collector’s item and a functional grand tourer, ready to deliver the unforgettable driving experience Lamborghini intended. What truly sets this example apart is its illustrious provenance, with ownership passing through a who’s who of the automotive world. Delivered new in 1967, this car was imported to the United States, where it was first acquired by celebrated Southern California custom motorcycle builder Joe “Alphabet” Skrzyniarz. It then passed briefly to another discerning owner before finding a long-term caretaker in James Simkins of Philadelphia, who ensured the car remained in excellent condition over a 15-year span. In 1989, the car joined the esteemed collection of Ken Gross, an Automotive Hall of Fame journalist and former director of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Gross, a true connoisseur of automotive artistry, recognised the car’s significance and entrusted its mechanical upkeep to Philadelphia marque expert Mike Tillson, ensuring it was not only preserved but also enjoyed as a weekend driver. The Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 was a revolutionary model for its time, combining breathtaking design with advanced engineering, including its powerful 4.0-litre V12 engine, independent suspension, and a five-speed gearbox. These innovations, paired with the car’s unparalleled rarity and stunning aesthetics, have solidified its status as one of the most desirable classic Lamborghinis ever produced. This particular example, Chassis #0622, offers a unique opportunity to acquire a car of exceptional provenance, low mileage, and timeless appeal. Whether displayed as the jewel of a prestigious collection or enjoyed on the open road, it is a testament to the brilliance of Lamborghini’s early years. This is more than just a car—it’s a masterpiece of design, engineering, and history, and an unmissable chance to own one of the finest examples of a truly iconic model.
