Current condition summary
Iso Grifo #387 is best described as being in very good driver condition, its body remains in original condition not having had to go through the ordeal of extensive rust repairs or panel replacement. Some improvements have been made to the car to suit the hot dry environment in Western Australia including uprated air-conditioning and engine cooling (alloy radiator with modern electric fans). This Grifo can happily sit in traffic on a 43 degree Celsius Perth day and keep its occupants cool. The original York compressor, condenser, radiator, and fans are all available with the car.
The performance of the car has been improved through a quad down draft 48mm idf Weber set up on an alloy inlet manifold and alloy cylinder heads. Original Holley carburetor and heads are all available with the car. A stainless header and exhaust system have also been fitted to the vehicle.
No. 387 has benefitted from a full suspension rebushing, rebuilding of the Koni dampers, brake calipers, master cylinder and various other systems whilst remaining in use. The vehicle could benefit with a new front windscreen.
The car comes with the original left hand drive steering column and pedal assembly making the conversion back to LHD relatively easy. The Iso ZF power steering box can be remounted to the left hand side of the vehicle.
This Grifo is a well sorted car that is a pleasure to drive whilst being extremely fast and usable, even in modern traffic. It would not take a big investment to bring #387 up to concours standard and return the car to left hand drive. Alternatively #387 makes for a truly exotic grand tourer that still covers great distances at speed in complete comfort.
There is no evidence of accident damage, there are some minor dents on the sides as a result of other car doors bumping the car when parked and there is no rust.
