According to the Scheda Caratteristica ('build sheet'), serial number 097 was delivered in the livery of Rosso paint with Pelle Nera interior.
The Iso name comes from the company's pre-war history as a manufacturer of Italian refrigerators called 'Isothermos'. Renzo Rivolta, an industrialist heir, and his son Piero established a facility to build cars. Designed by former Ferrari engineer Giotto Bizzarrini with chassis/body construction by Bertone, the first car was presented at the Torino Auto Show in 1962. It was viewed as a high-end Gran-Turismo car in the grandest sense.
The 327 cubic inch Chevrolet engine is backed with a Borg Warner four-speed and the power is conveyed with a de Dion rear end like that used in the Jaguar XKE.
From 1963 thru 1967, a total of 799 units were constructed. Designed as a 2+2 passenger configuration, these cars were the pinnacle of luxury and many Europeans purchased them instead of a similar model from Ferrari. Low-volume production coupled with both high-quality construction and expensive press-tool dies predicated an expensive vehicle that was destined not to survive in the competitive international automotive market of the 1960s.
