1986 Lancia Y10 Touring

We feature a broad range of vehicles here at CICFS, most of which are exotics. But the Italians have a way of bringing style to even the most basic of vehicles. While it doesn't have a lot of flair, the Lancia Y10 has a handsome, purposeful look to it. Its beauty is in its simplicity. As a child, I remember seeing these cars all over the streets of Portugal, as they appealed to folks wanting a little bit of luxury with their basic motoring formula. Sold under the Autobianchi nameplate in Italy, France and Japan, the Y10 had a ten year production run from 1985 through 1995.

This particular Y10 for sale in The Netherlands has only 21,000 miles on the clock. It is the Touring model, which has a 1.0 liter, 56 horsepower engine along with an Alcantara interior. All Y10s, save for a few special editions, had their tailgates painted black, lest anyone think this car had a rear end shunt.

1986 Lancia Y10 Touring

Nice and rare Lancia Y10. Car has got luxury alcantra seats and a 5 speed gearbox. The car has only done 35.000 km. Car has traces of use but it is well maintained. Interior is very nice. Engine runs well. Very rare Touring edition, there are only a few left all over the world of these. Tax free! Comes with original Lancia seat covers.

For just under $1,700 USD, this is one of the cheapest cars we've featured on this site. At this price, it would be attractive to ship this car stateside. While not as safe as some modern cars like the Fiat 500 and MINI Cooper, you'd certainly be the only one on the block with a car like this. Not only an economical proposition, this Y10 offers a bit more comfort than some of the superminis of its time and would be an instant conversation starter at the next Fiat Lancia Unlimited club meet.

1967 Lamborghini 400GT

The Lamborghini 400GT was essentially a derivation of the first Lamborghini road car, the 350GT. This example for sale in New York was itself a derivative of the 400GT, in that it is the 2+2 version with extended sheetmetal and a back seat. The V12 engine was enlarged to 4.0 liters in this car, capable of 320 horsepower. A total of 247 of these 400GT 2+2 models were made before the Islero replaced it in 1968.

1967 Lamborghini 400GT

A beautiful and matching numbers 400GT 2+2. It has just had a $50,000+ Gary Bobileff motor rebuild and service. It is a true 2 owner car and was with the same California owner for the last 41 years! Offered in a beautiful metallic green with tan interior the car is ready to drive and enjoy. It comes with the original Belgium license plate, Brochure from the factory and extensive service records. Early V12 Lamborghini’s are become hard to come by. This car will make a great addition to any collection. For only $285,000.

In this shade of green over tan leather, this Lamborghini has an aura completely different from the flamboyant supercars the manufacturer currently sells. A similar 400GT sold at RM Auctions in 2011 for $341,000, which was the highest number one of these cars has brought. Hagerty is pegging a value for a perfect example at just over $200,000. Realistically, in this market, this is about a $250,000 car, which is not far off from that other Italian great, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Decisions, decisions...
