1971 Iso Grifo Series II by Bertone

The 70s was a generous decade so far as car design was concerned and there are few better examples of this fact in action than the breathtaking 1971 Iso Grifo Series II by Bertone that is going up for sale with RM Sotheby’s. This majestic-looking machine is an incredibly rare Iso Grifo Series II with recent restoration to exceptional standards so, needless to say, there is abundant interest in this lot.

It is one of a mere 83 Iso Grifo Series IIs ever produced which makes it an incredibly attractive proposition and this lot is a well-known car in the Iso community and in current ownership since 2010. Pleasingly it comes equipped with period-correct, lighter, small-block V-8 for superior handling that will make it an absolute pleasure to drive.

A worthy addition to any classic car collector’s lineup, this 1971 Iso Grifo Series II by Bertone from RM Sotheby’s is the perfect combination of sophisticated Italian styling and American power.

Beautifully finished in metallic dark blue with a silver accent-bar over all-new cognac leather upholstery, this superb steed is certainly among the finest Iso Grifos out there, having been finished to an impeccable standard with great attention paid to the bodywork and shut lines.

This recently restored Series II with the desirable 350-cubic-inch V-8 and included factory automatic transmission surely ranks among the most significant examples of any Iso Grifo ever produced and if you’re after the crowning glory of your car collection, you’ve just found it.
