This is an original first production year alloy-bodied Lamborghini 350GT... the rarest and most coveted of the early Lamborghini's ever built! This particular 350GT was sequentially the 62nd of only 120 examples completed. Production began in late 1964 with the final example being completed in 1966 when the early, all alloy-bodied, short-chassis 350GT model was transformed into a longer wheel-base 400GT interim model. That too was soon replaced by the all steel-bodied 400GT.
Chassis No. 0343 was completed on Carrozzeria Touring Job No. 18035 as a standard specification 350GT. The order was placed by a Spanish client from Madrid. The original order requested the car be finished in “light Ivory / white” with contrasting “tobacco” full leather interior. Three options were also specified, a multi-band radio, amplifier and dual speakers as well as seat-belts left and right and electrically operated power window lifts.
In January of 1966 this Lamborghini was delivered at the Factory and driven by the new owner back to Spain. I was registered at that time for the first time on Madrid plates “M589925.” It would remain in Madrid on these plates during the careful and conservative ownership of two different sympathetic owners over the next 31 years until being sold in 1997 to a Japanese Private Museum Collection from which we purchased it earlier this month.
This Lamborghini’s third owner was Japan’s most famous Lamorghini collector and enthusiast, Mr. Isao Noritake of Aichi, Japan. Noritake San is the world-wide renown and respected chairman of the Japan Lamborghini Owner’s Club for which he was instrumental in founding in 1988. He is also the team president of the JLOC race team, a privately run professional racing team that with direct Factory support has been successfully racing various Lamborghinis for the past two decades. Noritake San selected this particular 350GT to join his growing collection as it was a completely original, un-molested example with no signs of rust or accident damage ever. Most importantly it was an all “matching numbers” vehicle and at the time represented the finest original example he could locate to join his museum collection.
The car remained with him stored and un-driven until our purchase last month. From 1997 until this year, the vehicle was placed on display in his private museum collection and never driven. The only mileage added was during services and maintenance procedures in order to ensure all was in good order at all times.
Our company was most fortunate earlier this year to be introduced to Noritake San and after formalities were dealt with accordingly, he allowed us to purchase his most prized early LP400 Countach, s/n 1120182 along with his 3, 000 original kilometer Miura S. Last month, Noritake San agreed to the sale of his Miura and this 350GT and we are most honored to have been able to purchase and export them to the States.
In 2004, the second owner of this Lamborghini decided that the light ivory exterior paint was beyond saving and agreed to have the car disassembled and stripped for a full repaint, this time to a dark, slight metallic green. The interior and all other aspects of the vehicle were carefully preserved due to their pristine original condition.
Today this mid-production 350GT other than the exterior paint remains largely as delivered new 50 years ago. This is a well-optioned, fully documented example from new with no signs of corrosion or accident damage ever anywhere. It is also a “Matching Numbers” example with all services current and up to date. It will be sold on a new title, license and registration in our company name. California residents will be responsible for tax, license and registration fees.
