The Ex - Works Bizzarrini Prototipi -- 1965 Iso Grifo A3/C Corsa


The ultimate in Iso Grifo or Bizzarrini, said to be the only A3/C to retain its original paint.

One of just two works racing fibreglass, independent rear suspension Iso Grifo A3/Cs fielded by Renzo Rivolta and Giotto Bizzarrini’s Iso Grifo Prototipi equipe during the 1965 International racing season.

Wide bodied in lightweight fibreglass with double wishbone independant rear suspension, a marked improvement over the previous de Dion design.

Cited by historians as having raced in the 1965 Nurburgring 1000km, Reims 12 Hour and Zeltweg 200 Mile events.

Restored by period Bizzarrini figure Salvatore Diomante having spent over 40 years in his possession.

Retaining its original layers of paint on the exterior while having been mechanically restored and benefitting from a Mathwall Engineering 400bhp V8 engine.

An incredibly rare and special ultra low-volume icon, pairing Italian design flair with American power thanks to the potent 5.4 litre Chevrolet V8.

A unique proposition for competition or as a centre point for the most distinguished of collections.
