    Many cues similar to the Mangusta, you can also see the similar period way of working the details together. Any idea if the car has been restored since?

    Thanks

    Wow! That's a very special special... Seemingly based on the Lancia Flavia. That means front wheel drive amd boxer engine!

    The engine is at the back and is a Flavia V4, the only Flavia part on the car as far as I understand. The tub is specially constructed.

    ... I had to find out a little about it and actually found some information on the web. Yes, it is mid-engined and uses the Flavia engine, which I believe is a boxer (flat) four-cylinder, not a V4 as stated in some places.

    Very nice looking from most angles.

    Cheers,
    Gabriel

    Yes my bad, I meant flat 4 cylinder not V4. That's just me dreaming of my old Fulvia :)

    Just found out it is one of two built by Neri&Bonacini. This one is on the east coast.

    Neri&Bonacini wanted to build there own production car this was the prototype. Too bad it never made it into production.

    looks Mangusta'esque' from the front and Miura'esque'/240Z'esque' from the rear :D
