1966 Iso Grifo GL For Sale by Auction

British title
Chassis n° GL660109

- Pure, sublime styling
- Major recent work
- High quality restoration documented with invoices
- Superb overall condition

The Iso Grifo was the ultimate evolution of the model conceived by Giotto Bizzarrini for Renzo Rivolta, constructor of the famous Isetta. To ensure the car had a reliable mechanical base, the two men chose a 5. 3-litre Corvette engine for its sophisticated chassis. Giugiaro, then at Bertone, designed an elegant and sporty body. The Grifo GL was launched at the end of 1965, by which time Bizzarrini and Rivolta were following different paths. Given its price and the numbers built, the car was a great success. Sadly, the oil crisis pushed the company into bankruptcy, which was announced in 1974.

This interesting Grifo GL was delivered new to Germany. The large file of bills tells us that the car was acquired in the mid-2000s by an enthusiast living in England, who proceeded to have the car extensively restored. A new 6. 3-litre engine was bought, the bonnet was changed, and the bodywork was fully refurbished. It then sold to a German enthusiast, and subsequently to our Parisian Lamborghini collector, who fell in love with the styling of this car. He considered it to be one of Bertone's most successful designs, along with the Miura. Major work was carried out by the specialist TS Automobile, to perfect the car and ensure its reliability, including: repairs to the electrics, modification to the stainless steel exhaust, replacement of rear bushes, refurbishment of the radiator, replacement of the plug leads and the distributor. The total cost of this work amounted to more than €15, 000.
We enjoyed a drive in this car on a closed road. In addition to admiring its pure, stunning styling, we experienced its excellent handling and stability at high speeds. With its four-speed mechanical gearbox, this is a real GT car, luxurious and comfortable, and extremely rare in such beautiful condition.

For sale in our upcoming auction on February 9th in Paris.
