Equipment
Chrome spoke outside laced Borrani wire wheels, triple Webers.
Condition
The paint is good with some minor chips at the door edges and one scratch at the boot cover. The gaps are excellent as is the chrome. The trim is fair and needs some polishing. The wheels are good and well-polished but lightly aged. The interior is excellent and appears new. The gauges show some slight age. One of three prototypes for the model and one of two shown at the Torino Motor Show. The design is similar to, but in detail different from, the production Vignale 3500GT Spiders. Restored in Italy in the 80''s and little used since.
Market commentary
The reported high bid represents little premium for this 3500GT''s stature as one of the Vignale Spider prototypes, which makes the decision not to accept the money more than reasonable. It''s really a very pretty car and deserves a good home where it will at least be shown so it gets some recognition.
