Interesting!

It looks like it is a modified 365gtc4. The same car is pictured on the customisation section of this website. A few more photos but little additional info…

Interesting, it looks like Claudio Zampolli (the designer of the Cizeta) modified a few of them

He was in the USA to meet and advise Claudio Zampolli's family, so nice loaner to run around in

Good video. I thought the political disclaimer was a reference to some of Claudio's social media posts the last few years of his life, a lot of which are still up.

I'm glad Iain is involved as he can hopefully do something good with the legacy, it seems like Claudio burned a few bridges over the years.

I never did quite understand the reason for Claudio's quite extreme hatred of Jay Leno and Valentino Balboni!

Well my first thought on seeing that was a bit of WTF at somebody putting a transverse v16 into, well anything, let alone a road car. My second thought was that somebody like Jay Leno would be ideal for this, but it seems there might be a bit of history there (I've no idea, I haven't googled, just what I've just read here).

Whoever picks this up I'd love to hear the car running when it's all back together.

I also wondered what the political disclaimer was about, I'd never even heard of the chap, let alone was aware of any political inference.

Claudio was extremely well known for decades in Italy and on the west coast of the US as a supercar guru. He was quite a pivotal and important man.

The last few years of his life his Facebook page was littered with lots of angry stuff, barely any mention of his supercar history just tons of bile directed in particular towards Jay Leno and Valentino Balboni. Really angry and dark stuff. Also lots of pro-Trump anti immigrant stuff. From an immigrant to the US!

No idea what happened or what caused all of that but again he was a very important man in the Italian supercar community for decades. The V16 is his legacy and it would be great for the car to be restored in his memory.
