This special race car is for sale at this dealer in the UK.
Is anyone else surprised at how many Iso and Bizzarrini cars are coming up for sale lately? And at very high prices, either actual prices achieved at auction, or high asking prices.
It seems like the Iso and the Bizzarrini marques are on the upward move in value.

Hi Mike
I am current doing some work on the 1965 LeMans (exhibition panels) and I like the vintage image you have at the top
