Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2009 5:00 pm) That's Ferrari money isn't it? The car did have chromed wires which I have not seen before, except on the car pictured above. I don't recall if it had 5-speeds but the placard said the car was a pre-production prototype, MY 1960. I didn't notice any details that were different from the production version but then again I've never seen an actual production Vignale Spider and as you know production versions of these high zoot Italian jobs often had different details even within a given model year. While we're on the subject, I wish I could've gotten a look at the DOHC 3.5L I-6>  Now that's a MOTOR!

Early cars are also less desirable because they have drum brakes and 4-speeds. They only made 88 Vignale convertibles, though, so the car is rare. Whether it is correct or not, is another matter.
