Islero To Arrive At Le Belle Macchina d’Italia
The long standing Italian car event, Le Belle Macchina d’Italia, which occurs every year at the Pocono mountain retreat, Skytop Inn, will feature the Islero as their honored Lamborghini model in 2007. Jim Kaminski, president of the Lamborghini Owner’s Club and also an Islero owner, is challenging people to get 5 Isleros to attend.
If someone were to get 6 they would hold the world’s record for the number of Isleros in one spot since they last left the factory in 1969. At the last event in 2005, Valentino Balboni, the factory test driver, was there giving rides around the Pocono track in a Murcialago and mixing with owners.
Ownership of an Islero is a real adventure. But it doesn’t stop with restoration and driving pleasure. It is a great open door to a whole culture of Italian machinery, organized events, camaraderie, and challenge. Participate in some events such as the excellent ones put on by the Lamborghini Owners Club, the Lamborghini Club America, Le Belle Macchina d’Italia, the Concorso d’Italia in Detroit, or the Meadowbrook/Italian Happening. Two organizations that are absolutely essential to join are the Vintage Lamborghini Garage and the Lamborghini Owners Club.
