I came across these amazing 70's wheels today. I'd never heard of it, a Iso Rivolta Lele from the last year of its production, 1974. Styled by Bertone and powered by a 5.7l Ford V8.
While looking up that I discovered Giotto Bizzarrini, who worked for Ferrari on their legendary 250 GTO. He left Ferrari to work for Iso, before splitting with them and setting up his own outfit, and went on to make this, the amazing looking Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada. The interior and exterior are stunning: https://silodrome.com/bizzarrini-5300-gt/
At the end of that is a link to a cool short film about Luciano Rupolo who has some exotic cars, including a Iso Grifo, a stunning Ferrari 250 GTE, and for Porsche fans also tells the tale of his discovery, rebuild and eventual sale of Porsche #004 .
