Ferruccio Lamborghini made his money building tractors. He didn't mind spending his hard earned Lires on cars, he wanted the best so he bought a Ferrari. When he had problems with his car he went to Enzo Ferrari to complain about the build quality of his Ferrari. According to the legend Enzo Ferrari replied: 'You should stick with building tractors and let me concern about the cars'. This made Ferruccio so angry that he decided to build his own cars.
His cars would of course be powered by a V12 engine, the standard set by Ferrari. The designer of the engine was Bizzarini who had just left Ferrari after creating some of the best cars ever to roll out of the Maranello plant like the 250 GTO. The 3.5 litre engine was fitted in a Scaglione bodied steel tubed chassis and mated to a ZF gearbox.
The metallic blue 350GTV stunned many at the 1963 Turin Motorshow even though it was engineless as the engine didn't fit under the bonnet. The car was recently completely restored and the chassis was altered to fit the engine. The blue paint was replaced by a metallic green paintjob.
The production cars derived from the 350GTV received a down tuned engine and a Touring designed bodywork.

Launched on the London Motorshow in 1965 the 3500 GTZ was designed and built by Zagato on a shortened 350 GT chassis. In total Zagato built two 3500 GTZ's of which this is the only one remaining, with the other one allegedly disappeared in Hongkong in the sixties. This car has gone through a lot of changes; it has been red and right hand drive for quite a while but it is back in original condition.
