Lets see how good you are - identify these two cars

[blueg33]

I saw both of these at the same location yesterday.

Car 1 - Being restored



Car 2 - Being prepped for painting

Bottom one is a Farbio (Ginetta)

Isn't the first one a 1969ish Lamborghini Islero?

Initially I thought the top one was an Islero or a Seventies Masserati but now I'm undecided! Again I thought the bottom one was an Invicta but after googling it appears I am wrong, making this a fairly pointless post!

Top car is an ISO Rivolta.

If it is the wings are wrong, look at the panel lines ;-)

Good point, I see this 'after' coffee!

1st one a Monteverdi

Top one ISO Grifo but later model with modified front end. Maybe......

[chris.mapey]

I'm going with an Iso Lele for the first pic.

Not sure about the second - I'd go with a Farbio, pending further research

[attym3]

I think the top one may be a BMW.

I'd go with the Iso Grifo for the first one, had a corgi toy version as a child! Not a clue on the second though.

Might this explain the side repeaters which look wrong for a Grifo? How 'standardised' were parts like this on low volume run stuff? (It was the side repeaters that made me think Islero, but the panel line as soneone pointed out is way out!)

[timbo48]

I googled ISO Revolta where there's a web site showing a photo of a later version of the Grifo. The bonnet line with its partially fold up headlight covers loks very similar. Oh, and I had the Corgi model mentioned previously, in metallic red I think. Funny what your brain retains......

Correct - Its a Ginetta F400. They are painted off site. The bare carbon fibre looked rather good.

Very good, I am impressed - I had to ask the bodyshop

I am sure mine was metallic blue, my OH reckons I've got a selective memory, I told her that believe me some of the things I remember are not the ones I would choose!
