Equipment
Marcello Gandini designed 4 seat Bertone concept car based on a stretched Miura pan and a mid mounted transversely mounted inline six cylinder engine that was half a Miura V 12. Huge glass side windows make up most of the long gullwing doors. Introduced at the Monaco GP in 1967 driven on a parade lap by Prince Rainier and Princess Grace. Distinguished by Gandinis multiple hexagon design elements. Offered as built directly by Bertone and in amazing condition, fresh, sharp and unblemished.
Market commentary
Show cars frequently are built in a hurry and with a view to only a limited lifespan. That was obviously not the case with Marzal, which although its seen limited exposure since it was new has survived like it was in a very good time capsule. One of the auctions stars, it brought headline money, but its still a headline, showstopping, vehicle.
