Iso Rivolta Lele Is A Forgotten Italian Coupe With American Muscle

Despite its comfort, performance, and unique design, the Iso Lele struggled to find its place in the market. Only around 280 units were ever produced. The Lele faced challenges because customers didn’t know what it was for.

It didn’t conform to traditional sports car values or fit the profile of a classic grand tourer. Its closest competitor, the Jensen Interceptor, and its intended rival, the Lamborghini Espada, presented formidable obstacles in a market where the Lele’s unconventional appearance raised eyebrows.

If you’re looking for a rare vintage sports car that oozes with character, the Rivolta Lele should be on our shortlist. Fortunately, the featured car above – with only 38,750 miles on the clock – is currently up for sale for £69,950 (or around $85,500 with the current exchange rates) on SBR Engineering.
