A unique Scorpione built for hillclimbing in 1971 by well-know race-car preparer/restorer Francesco Landi of Lucca, Italy. Based on a stock 1969 Scorpione SS, but with specially-commissioned Gp6-type nose section and 2ohc 1280cc engine in place of the original ohv unit. Restored 1999-2003 by F&M Motori, Pisa and by UK Abarth specialists Middle Barton Garage, 2007. No competition use since, but race-ready. Street-legal in UK with tax & MOT. Very quick!
