I spotted an Iso LeLe a couple of years ago which sounded awesome and is on my dream garage list now.

Cool as you like - http://www.californiaclassix.com/archive/72_Iso_Le...

Bizzarini was involved with ISO in designing the A3C. Some cars were badged Bizzarini as they were supplied by him for racing. They then parted ways and Bizzarini developed the 5300 GT. IIRC there was some fighting over the Grifo name. I have driven a Grifo 7 litre; the only thing I can compare it to is an Italian version of a Jensen Interceptor but they rust even faster wink

I was behind the Bizzarini as I left goodwood, it didn't look too badwink
