Considering the many works done (the expenses of which are documented and documentable), the asking price is NOT TRATTABLE. Separately, at a price to be agreed upon, all the spare parts to bring it back to the original and many new and used parts, including 6 wide-channel rims. Purchased to be converted into a Giannini replica, it was set up after a conservative restoration that began in April 2022 and after several breaks, it was finally completed in August 2024. It is used almost daily and is great fun to drive.
All the graphics have been custom made and are unique, as is the shade of white chosen and the combination with the wheels. The interior has also been stylishly done, using bespoke tartan-style seat covers from the period, small diameter Luisi steering wheel from the period (built 1974) I am only selling because I have a new project in mind
