Classic eBay Motors Auction: 1974 Iso Rivolta Lele Sport Goes Under Gavel
As a pristine example, of a limited edition, of a very exclusive sports car from an extremely small manufacturer, this 1974 Iso Rivolta Lele Sport represents a true find for the eBay Motors shopper. The exotic (and very 1970s) 2+2 styling and black on brilliant yellow paint may not be the right fit for every collector, but there’s little doubt that this eccentric Italian will attract eyeballs wherever it’s driven.
The heroic Iso offered muscle car shove in 1974, with something like 360 horsepower being wrung from its 5.7-liter, Ford-sourced V-8 engine, and a top speed that was claimed to be around 150 miles per hour. One of the last products that rolled out of the Iso doors, only 20 Lele Sports were known to have been produced. We’d guess then that the starting bid of $30,000 on this auction will have to move considerably before the seller’s reserve is met. Happy bidding.

Fine eye, Seyth.
The Iso firm of Italy is long forgotten. The most famous work to come from the Iso team was the 1960s Grifo, a handsome GT akin to the Maserati Ghibli. The Iso concept is almost like a hand reaching to the past. These vehicles were produced in minute quantities, like the motor chariots of the 1930s.
I really don't know all that much about the Lele. It isn't a hot item by Iso standards. In this case, the paint scheme doesn't help. A collectable, for sure. I just don't see this hitting Grifo numbers.

the main reason the lele is a forgotten supercar is its styling( too dull)
