Cisitalia 202, Fiat 8V ist series, Fiat 1100 S MM, 1100 ES wanted

[Sei cilindri]

I got a very lucrative offer on my ISO Grifo yesterday

I promised myself only to sell it if I could buy myself one off the above mentioned cars

Problem is that they will cost more than my Grifo
I would like to purchase therefore either a cheap car, or a projectcar if possible

Has anybody seen something like that for sale recently ?

September "Automobile" magazine published a photo list of the 25 Most Beautiful cars. The Cisitalia 202 coupe looks very similar to a car my father had in the early 60's, in Detroit. The passenger/navigator seat a wraparound bucket, was displaced rearward with a foot bar on the floor, rollbar and 5 point harness, all that appeared factory installed. I beleive the car had been raced at LeMans. It had many Fiat parts, but I have never determined the marque. I understand there were only 150 of these cars. What is the likelyhood what my father had was a 202?

If it had many Fiat parts it could be a Siata 208, altough I think those only came as a convertible.

more likely given that we are talking about the early sixties, it could have been an Abarth Zagato or Vignale Coupe.

Your Iso Grifo; can you let me know if a superior bid is possible? Dependong of course that it is a running extravaganza?

Well , I am not actively trying to sell my Grifo for as Drakkie mentioned I had no intention on ever selling it

Nevertheless I got an offer of Euro 62.000 Euro for my car which is a good offer (I was offered 175.000 DM for the car back in 1989 but that was before the super car bubble bursted)
Ofcourse I would consider a better offer but either way I would want to have the possibility to aquire one of my ultimate dream cars for els ethere would be no point selling it

Anyway, that set me thinking again as I really love the first series 8V with the Carozzeria Speciale coachwerk


To tell you the truth, Drakkie , I do not want a Zagato bodied 8V. I think this is the least pretty of the bunch (which does not mean that I do not liek it but there were some many beautiful bodies on this car)

As for prices : anywere from 120.000 to 500.000 Euro I would say

[D'ARTOIS]

No, sei cilindri, that is out of my budget, I had a Rivolta, back in '75 or '76 with the Chrysler V8 - bought it for 6000 fl - never assumed those high prices of today.
My sister mailed me (from France) that they have dicovered a Bugatti 56 not far away from her farm and that they have sold it for an amazing euro 300.000 - if I may believe her (which I don't usualy).

[Sei cilindri]

yes ,a good (not concours) Iso Grifo will set you back between 45 and 65 K I would say and big blocks fetch even more

Of course the Rivolta is worth considerably less, I would say half that amount at most as the design is less "supercar" and more down to earth

I think you do not remember the engine correct btw
Most Iso sportscars were fitted with modified Chevrolet engines
The last years , i believe from '70 on till they went bankrupt in '74 they used Ford engines
They claimed that GM could or would not supply the right stuff , but i suspect by then they had already financial trouble

Chrysler V8 engines were fitted to Facel Vega and Jensen

[D'ARTOIS]

You must be right. This Rivolta had a Ford V8 - I remember that now, I believe to remember that it had a Shelby block. I had a De Tomaso Deauville - very shortly - I had to sell it for financial reasons a few weeks after I bought the car.
Once, I bought a Facel Vega for little money with a burst V8 - that was the Chrysler.

Is there someone who remembers the late Carel Mumm from Zandvoort in the forum?

Just curiosity.

Hello d'Artois. You have more information about this Bugatti that was discovered?

[austin healey]

would you ever think of trading that car for something like an e type convert, austin healey, jaguar xk 120 conv, or aston martin

[Sei cilindri]

Can't help you on that (though my 2300 in the avatar belonged to H Hugenholtz sr, founder of Zandvoort) but you owned some pretty interesting cars in your day.

Most of them rather short I understand but nevertheless..
