The one off Iso Daytona that was mentioned by Horsefly was at Pacific Raceways this July 4th for the Historic Races. It was piloted by its new owner Richard Mattei. | ||

Speaking of Bizzarinis, here's another link to an interesting car. It was actually listed as an Iso even though it is more a Bizzarini. I didn't know they made a special Daytona version with modified bodywork. http://www.qv500.com/adscoysisodaytona.htm Very strange that it is listed as an Iso because even the standard Iso has noticably different bodywork from the more racier looking Bizzarini. | ||

Bizzarrini designed the 250 GTO for Ferrari, but was one of the "gang of 5" who left Ferrari during the "palace revolt." After developing Lamborghini's V-12, he worked aa a consultant & designer at Iso developing the Iso Rivolta, Iso Grifo A3L & A3C & Iso Varedo. He ultimately had a Judicial battle over the name Grifo, and built the Grifo A3C under the names Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada & Corsa. He also designed other wicked cars. Just ask if you want more info. | ||

Someone help me out here, but I believe Bizzarini came from Iso (of Iso Grifo fame), and built his own cars afterwards. | ||
