| History: | November 1965 shown at the Turin Salon (photo 1). February 1966 shown at the Modena Racing Car Show. March 1966 featured in and on the front cover of Road & Track magazine. Becuase the 70P was originally conceptualised as a Can-Am car, it did not conform to FIA sports car regulations and therefore could not be raced in Europe. For this reason, it was re-configured as the Sport 5000 and fitted with new bodywork housing wider wheels, front turn signal lights and a windshield wiper. The rear wheel spats were removed. Fuel tanks and exhaust system were also now installed. 17/07/1966 Ciruit of Mugello - R. Bussinello (#191) DNF Kept at the factory until 2004. June 2004 sold to Philippe Olczyk / VDV Grant, Brussels, Belgium. Note: some of the original but incomplete 'first version' 70P bodywork (removed in 1966) was salvaged from the factory and used for another car that appeared in 2006. In July 2006 this car was advertised as for sale by VDV Grant on ClassicDriver.com. Click here for more information. |
