Why it matters
Two works Leles were built for Phillip Morris, whose sponsorship tied Iso's 1973 and 1974 Formula 1 effort to Marlboro. Because the factory build sheets name only two of these cars, they are the reference point for telling genuine works cars from replicas.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

History
Phillip Morris commissioned Iso Rivolta to build two special Leles for its drivers, plus two spares. Giotto Bizzarrini was brought in, and the result was a lighter, more sporting car with a 360 hp Ford 351 Cobra Jet engine, a ZF five-speed gearbox and a deep front spoiler.
The first works car, chassis 184, appeared at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1973 and then went to a works driver. Its sister car, chassis 185, was later returned to Phillip Morris.
Iso then introduced a public Sport version with the same Marlboro-style exterior cues and a standard dash. Marlboro-badged replicas exist, but only chassis 184 and 185 appear on the factory build sheets.
