When people think “Lamborghini,” images of scissor-doored supercars immediately jump to mind. But the fabled Italian marque started out building gentlemanly grand touring cars like this 1968 Islero owned by comedian Adam Carolla. The V12 that powers the Islero is the same basic design that Lamborghini used from 1964 all the way through to 2010.
Like the Espada and Jarama, many people didn’t know about the Islero and, until recently, prices were fairly reasonable. But with just 400 Isleros made, finding one for sale can be tricky at any price.
The last time Adam brought a car by Jay’s garage, it ran out of gas during the drive and had to be brought back to life. This time, they remembered to fill up the tank!
