    Mr. Massini in his article about 575 GTZ (link below) confirmed informations, of fifteen (15) Ferraris, which bodies were created by Zagato. However through my researches I found only 11 zagato-bodied Ferraris, including 0018M, 0046M, 0515GT, 0537GT, 0665GT, 0689GT, 1367GT, 2491GT, 10659, 348 Elaborazione and aftermentioned 575 GTZ. Where are other four, missing cars?

    Any kind of help will be appreciated.

    Dr. Paolo di Taranto from Zagato told me on March 2008 at Zagato that six cars had been built.
    That was the number agreed with Ferrari SpA.

    Regards.

    Elaboraziones remains a mystery for me. I was told, that they planned to built more than 20 cars?

    I knew of six 575 GTZs, which were built.

    Anyway thank for help. Looking forward for more details.

    Paul Koot once told me that 25 cars were planned but in the end it was too expensive to pursue with all the different bodyparts so no more than a few were actually built.

    Last summer I ran into a gentleman and his wife at a car show in Yountville (Napa,CA). He saw my 330 GTC and struck up a conversation. He owned a Lusso and 0515 GT. George sent me a CD with a few photos of these cars while in their ownership back in the sixties. He considered another car, a 375 Berlinetta, I think, but did not go for it. I told him about F'chat, but not sure if he is on.

    I'm not sure what you are saying that someone modified a photo. All I know is that I have not only seen the car but have driven in it.

    I have seen photoshopped picture of 575 GTZ convertible, since then I thought that Zagato never built open version of 575 GTZ. Do you have any pictures, which can prove this car exist?

    I'm quite happy to take the man's word for it!

    It'd be nice to see some pics though, I am unfamiliar with the car.
