This beautiful 1967 Iso Grifo was bought new by multiple Motorcycle World Champion Mike Hailwood. It is for sale at the Coys Auction, The Spirit of Motoring - Ascot on Saturday 14 May 2011.
The Estimate is £140,000 - £170,000 ($232,000 - $281,000).
The engine is the original Corvette 327 V8 with 350 hp mated to a 5 Speed ZF gearbox. It also comes with the rare factory air conditioning.
This car appeared in the Beatles film A Magical Mystery Tour. The picture below is from the movie.
It is right hand drive.

It seems that the Beatles liked Iso cars, I wrote about John Lennon and the Iso Fidia recently.
Now, this is a very special Grifo.
