Chassis:
Featured is the very first chassis completed (s/n 001), which was severely damaged in the testing damage. After the company's bankruptcy, the remains of the car were bought by an enthusiast, who had it restored to running order with a Chevrolet V8 engine. There was also a fifth car retrieved from Bizzarrini many years later, which he had completed himself shortly after the company ceased production, which carries the chassis number '00*'. This car is also fitted with a Barchetta body and a Chevrolet engine, so of the original shape three cars have survived; one with a Lamborghini V12 and two with a V8. In the following years several Lamborghini powered replicas were also constructed.
After its restoration in Europe, 001 was sold to the United States. Here it actively toured the concours d'elegance scene with a second in class at Pebble Beach in 1990 as a highlight. It was retired into a private collection in 1995 and resurfaced in the 2005 Pebble Beach Blackhawk Exposition where it is pictured here.
