The Iso Rivolta GT300 Coupé an iconic fusion of Italian design and American power. Its elegant lines and powerful performance have rightfully made it famous. This classic car uniquely combined Italian aesthetics with a 5.4-liter American V8 engine, producing 300 horsepower. Mated to a 4-speed Borg Warner manual transmission, it delivers excellent acceleration and a top speed of 225 km/h.

The suspension system featured double wishbones at the front and a De Dion axle at the rear, both with coil springs, ensuring excellent road holding and comfort. Its lightweight and rigid unibody construction and its aerodynamic design further enhanced performance. Inside, the Iso Rivolta offered a luxurious experience with high-quality leather seats, a chrome and wood-trimmed dashboard, and easily readable essential instruments. This combination of technical sophistication and elegant style made it a masterpiece among sports cars. The GT300 remains a favorite among classic car enthusiasts to this day, and it is known for its technical excellence and aesthetic appeal.

The vehicle arrived at our workshop almost completely disassembled, with only the suspension and engine remaining in place. After complete disassembly, the body underwent a thorough cleaning to remove paint and rust. It is currently at the workshop of our bodywork partner, Garage22, where it is undergoing a thorough body restoration.

While the body is in the care of Garage22, we are working on the other subsystems. We disassemble, carefully inspect, and restore every single part. The chassis and braking system have already undergone bead blasting, galvanization, and painting, and the brake calipers have already been assembled.

The engine, although previously rebuilt by the previous owner, has been sitting in a garage for decades, so we need to meticulously check if it is still in perfect condition.

The fuel tank also needs restoration, as it contains about 1 cm of rusty sand. Unfortunately, it has rusted through in some places, so the bottom will have to be completely remanufactured.
