Lamborghini Islero - more than meets the eye with this little known GT | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

My wife, who drives a 911, exact quote as we watched this. “ Watching Tyrrell tune a Lamborghini 12 cylinder is about the sexiest thing I’ve seen a man do in a long time.” Still got it my friend.

To have one Islero in a shop is something. Three, including Ferrucio's own? That shows you what people think of Iain's work. Thank you for letting us look over your shoulder and be able to experience and learn about cars we'll never see in the flesh

To me the Islero is beautiful 👌🏻

I have to take another opportunity to thank you so much for these videos. As someone who grew up on Observer's car books, and Motor road tests, I can really appreciate the era we live in where we can get so intimate with these actual cars, and see and hear them being driven. We are so fortunate to have you share these moments with us all.

I absolutely love watching these videos, I know in some previous comments Iain has been described as the motor worlds version of David Attenborough and that’s exactly right. In my view Iain is a mechanical surgeon. 👍

I was out on my bike the night you shot this and on my way home past Hawarden airport was pondering why I'd driven and ridden this road for years and never seen you out testing when who should come past me but yourself in that Lambo. Caught up with you when you pulled over by the junction to the Airbus jetty so if you were wondering who the cyclist in the red and black jersey shouting that he liked your stuff and giving you the thumbs up was it was me. Personally I thought she was running a bit rich going by the smell of the exhaust as you went past as I reckoned you could have run another car off the exhaust fumes but I guess we're all used to cars with cats these days 👍👍

Great car. I like it a lot more than a Countach. Doesn't look as impressive but that's what I like. A more subtle, yet sporty and elegant design. Especially with than nice light shade of blue.

Another fantastic video beautifully delivered. I love that Ian doesn’t talk money and how much these cars are worth…Its all about engineering and history. Great stuff

Wow, what an honour to restore Lamborghini’s own car, speaks volumes of their trust in you ! We’ll done !

It is beautiful! I think it’s the funniest thing when he is done tuning the car he will put his fingers on the motor to feel the vibrations and how smooth it is and grin 😁 when it’s just right, hahaha! I heard he was a professional singer, maybe oporá and maybe this is how he is so good at tuning. You have to hear a frequency then you need to balance all the cylinders and that’s not easy, it’s years and years working with these engines. I love this channel

Absolutely brilliant car, thanks for the great video, I'll be watching this over and over again, as you say, highly underrated and ignored, I'd love lamborghini to build a new version.

These videos are so interesting, being from the states we don't get to see these rare and beautiful beasts up close.. so a heart felt thank you for sharing your passion

At last! I have been waiting for Islero or GT350/400 content to appear. That sound makes me smile.

And yet another weekend comes to a close and ends on a blissful edge watching the latest video feast from Iain’s garage…..absolutely wonderful..I can now sleep soundly and gracefully slip into next week…

That's the Lamborghini I think I'd choose over any other. It's understated, very obviously 60's Italian but not instantly recognisable (at least, to most folks, myself included)..... and it has that V12. Another excellent video! I can't wait to see more of the white one's restoration.

What a stunning car. I'd never heard of this model, but I can see so many styling cues I recognize were nicked for other cars which came after it. Still a beauty today. that interior looks like a very special place to be, and what a sound when you let go of the reins :o. That's one hell of a daily driver.

Stunning! I first saw an Islero in 2018 at Bicester Heritage and instantly fell in love with the design. Such a shame so few were made. Good to know they drive well. Thanks for featuring it Iain!

I've always loved the look of the Islero, ever since seeing pictures of them in car magazines. The two shown here are stunning. It's good to see that they drive as good as they look. Great video. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.

Another wonderful Lamborghini history lesson.

Wonderful, specially the interior-exterior colour combination of the car you’ve been showing driving is exquisite and very stylish. It makes the entire modest athletic design stand out and extraordinarily pleasing for the eye.
