Something to treat yourself to when your next record sells a million. Four full-sized seats with harness and head restraints enclosed within a spectacular air-conditioned shell by Bertone. The V12 engine with four overhead camshafts and six carburettors drives through a five-speed gearbox. Twin servos and dual circuits actuate the ventilated disc brakes. The massive engine is mounted well forward for maximum passenger space.

LAMBORGHINI URRACO SILHOUETTE £13,684
Latest in the traffic-stopping styles evolved by Bertone for Lamborghini, is this mid-engined two-seater coupe with removable top. The light alloy 3-litre V8 engine with two belt-driven overhead camshafts to each bank is mounted transversely with the five-speed gearbox. For optimum steering and traction, rear tyres are wider than those in front. Headlamps are retractable, spotlamps are in the air dam.
