1965 Lamborghini 4000 GT Flying Star II

One of the very last cars designed by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera was this unique Flying Star II showcar. It was built on a shortened 400 GT chassis and had a controversial body by Carlo Anderloni.

In 1999 the car was offered for sale and it was subsequently restored by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. The finished result was shown at the 2013 Rétromobile and the 2013 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este for inclusion into the 50th anniversary class.
