The Lamborghini 400 GT has been delivered in 1967 to its first owner Mon. Nello |
| Piran, 60 Rue Pauly, Begles, France through the early exclusive Lamborghini | |
| dealership Voitures Paris Monceau. |
| On the 5th of December 1975 the car was sold to an unknown enthusiast who | |
| inherited the Lamborghini in 1980 to Mon. Jean Francois Tujas, 14 Rue Florales, | |
| Marmande, France.The registration number was still the same as 8814 QA 47. |
| In 1985 the car changed hands again to Mon. Perre who has never registered | |
| and obviously not driven the car. |
| It was then sold again in 2000 to Mon. Walter Philippe which was living in 32700 | |
| Castera-Lectourois, France. He kept the car until 2007. The Lamborghini 400 GT | |
| was according to the first pics in the archive file in not running partly | |
| dismantled and molested condition. |
| It was then obviously bought on the 13th of December 2007 by the well-known | |
| Lamborghini specialist Autodrome, 78314 Maurepas Cedex, France. They | |
| immediately started a nut and bolt restoration. The bodywork was | |
| commissioned to the famous body restorer La Carrosserie Lecoq, 105, Rue | |
| Casimir Perier, 95 870 Bezons. Andre Lecoq is known for his skills of amazing | |
| bodywork, definitely the best decision for a complete body rebuilt in France. | |
| The car was completely dismantled and received a bare metal repaint. Parts of | |
| the body panels had been replaced where it was needed. The amazing work is | |
| documented by lots of detailed photos showing the car just in its steel body in | |
| bare metal. |
| The complete technique was rebuilt at Autodrome. They were going through | |
| everything, rebuilding the original 4000 ccm engine, new wiring harness, new | |
| suspension, new brakes, everything was replaced. The car received new Borrani | |
| wire wheels and each chrome item was rechromed. |
| The new owner decided to repaint the Lambo in a new and more desirable colour | |
| scheme as marrone metalizzato with a contrasting interior with beige leather and | |
| brown carpets. |
| There are as well lots of pics of the whole restoration in the archive file which is | |
| accompanying the car. |
| The result was an absolutely new Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2. |
| I assume that the complete rebuilt of the car had exceeded easily the cost of | |
| 200.000,- Euros. | |
| Short time after its renovation the Lambo was sold to a new German owner who | |
| sold it in 2016 again to the last and very known car afficionado based in | |
| Munich/Germany. |
| Interestingly in 2014 the engine has been rebuilt again at one of the most | |
| famous Lamborghini specialists in Germany. Wolfgang Instinsky dismantled | |
| the engine and installed new piston liners and carried out all necessary work on | |
| the engine. The invoice shows an amount at 30.000,- Euros. In 2021 the last | |
| owner commissioned a complete rebuilt of the differential which had caused | |
| some noise. By this the whole diff was taken apart and the rack and pinion had | |
| been replaced. The invoice in the large archive file is showing another 15.000,- | |
| Euros. This work was carried out by Ricambi Toro, which is one of the best | |
| Lamborghini parts supplier and especially workshop for old Lamborghini. | |
| Today the Lambo is still in marvelous technical condition. The latest test drive | |
| has shown tremendous power coming out of its 4000 ccm, four cam unit fired by | |
| six Weber carbs. The engine sounds marvelous, gears are perfectly shifting and | |
| the brakes are like new. It is big fun to drive this car. |
| Cosmetically it is still in same fantastic condition as it has been after its | |
| gorgeous restoration. I guess that it has been driven very carefully and only | |
| frequently because you cannot find and see any wear in the passenger | |
| compartment or at the perfectly detailed engine compartment. |
| I suppose that Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 in this perfectly restored condition are | |
| normally never coming into the market. |
| If someone is looking for a beautiful Lamborghini thoroughbred in fantastic | |
| restored condition, this is the car. |
