Lamborghini Islero

[TdM-GTV]

There is a Lamborghini Islero outside my window at work...

In a land where it seems loads of people are interested in cars, why is nobody excited by this!? I don't understand... I literally ran through my office to have a look when it turned up and the most anyone else says is 'nice car' before wandering off to do something else.

If we were in Italy this would be an event. This is a rare, good looking beautiful sounding Italian supercar and I can't drum up enthusiasm from anyone... WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?!!?

You're hanging with the wrong crowd ;-)

Easy - it's not a 59 plate, so it's no good.

Too true, all people see is the shiny new pound signs and what the advertisers tell them.

I'll get my camera when I go to lunch. If it's still there I'll get some shots.

Sadly, yes.

Probably have never heard of it. I mean I'm 50 and it rarely surfaced on the radar. The Jarama on the other hand...

For me, the Islero is far prettier... there's something just so right about it.

A fantastic looking car, though unfortunately I have never seen one in the flesh.

[LuS1fer]

It's just an odd shape with shades od Maserati Indy, Reliant Scimitar, Jensen Interceptor and so forth in its lines - _ think it therefore lacks it's own true identity but rather "reminds you" of something else. The Jarama I thought was a stronger design even though it never really sold that well, doubtless because the Espada was much better looking. Both seem to suffer from having an angularity akin to a Mk III Escort rear windows though.

LuS1fer how dare you!

I love the Islero- one of the few lambo designs which are restrained.

[LuS1fer]

I never really realised how big the Jarama overhangs were either...
