1966 Lamborghini 350GT Coupe

Chassis number 0358 was originally supplied to Portugal. In the 1980s, it was acquired by arch Lamborghini collector and founder of the Lamborghini Club of Canada, Ken Browning. At the time of purchase, it had a broken timing chain and needed mechanical and cosmetic attention. Browning rebuilt the motor, as well as its brakes and suspension with correspondence with Ubaldo sgarzi of the works service department, who sourced many of the parts directly from the factory. The work was done over a four-year period.

After Brownings death in the early 1990s, the car was subsequently passed through two further Canadian owners before being brought to auction in 2000 and into the care of an attorney in Lynchburg, VA. It was sold again at auction two further times and purchased by the current owners in August of 2006.

In 2010, the car was offered for sale at the Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia auction presented by Bonhams. It was sold for $165,400 inclusive of buyer's premium.
