1737 GT visually owed more to the Series I Cabriolet and 400 Superamerica's than any Series II. The engine was a full blown Competizione specification Tipo 168 unit producing around 280bhp and combined with the lightweight aluminium bodywork, this very special roadster would have been more than a match for almost any California Spyder. However, 1737 GT was never intended for competition use, being trimmed to a level of luxury on a par with both Series I and II Cabriolet's. Completed and fully detailed after the salon, this Spyder Speciale was consequently sold with a bespoke hardtop that featured a removable sunroof. Some other clients also ordered hardtops with special order sunroofs (chassis 2489 GT for example) but these are ultra rare. At least three more Speciale's were constructed, 1925 GT featuring special bodywork and a unique brushed alloy hardtop whilst 3469 GT received a design largely similar to that of the aforementioned 1737. A handful of additional cars with factory modifications may also exist, but much mystery surrounds closed headlight cars – a large number having been altered at the request of their owners after the sixties.
