Description:

This extremely original example has had only 3 owners since new. Having a genuine 53,000 miles
it has led an obviously pampered life. The prior owner was an avid Bizzarrini enthusiast who stored the car
undriven for nearly 10 years. The current owner has returned it to roadworthy condition while taking
car not to disrupt the slight patina that only an unrestored car can have. The owner rates the exterior
paint and finish an 9+ and the interior an 8+, let down only by some dryness and a perished shifter
boot. The engine is healthy but does exhibit some smoke, indicating that it could perhaps use some new
valve guides.


History

The Bizzarrini Strada is a product of the intense and unyielding perfectionist Giotto Bizzarrini.
A pivotal figure in the development of the Italian supercar, his association with various manufacturers
rarely lasted long enough for his contribution to be properly acknowledged. At Ferrari he developed the
250GT into the legendary GTO but left the firm after a blow-up with the old man before the car ever
appeared in competition. Without employment he took on the freelance task of designing the new V12 for
Ferruccio Lamborghini, which he accomplished in an incredible four months. His intense and
uncompromising nature virtually dictated that Giotto untimately produce a car under his own name.
