Some unbelievable looking cars!

I really like the looks of the Bizzarrini.

Pardon my ignorance, how come the Dino is RHD?

Because Dino Competizione is a one off done by Pininfarina on a 206S Comp. chassis and comp. cars are usually RT Hand Drive as race courses run Clockwise and have more RT hand turns and it's easier to make a RT turn from the RT side.

I recently became her first owner. She was owned by her manufacturer Pininfarina for 40 years. She is one of one and VERY original.

Thank you very much Jota, I bet it wasn't easy trying to acquire such a rare automobile!

Wow, definitely a museum quality acquisiton. Congrats!!!

 

It's not every day that one becomes the first owner of a 40 year old car directly from the Manufacturer. Pininfarina gently cleaned her up and we took her to Villa d'Este where she won a Metal of Honor.

 

Next she's on to the Targa Florio.

 

Best
