    That's a shot of the Victress. Many of the kit bodies specials had tons of variation from car to car. flares, scoops, hardware, so small differences would be the norm. The fiberglass molds could have been sold from company to company as one went out of business.

    Reading a bit more it looks like Eric is indeed correct. Sorry Eric I didn't think you were correct until I read this.

    The car I saw 10 years ago was a Sicilian aka (Victress C2). It was on an unaltered Triumph TR3 chassis & running gear. I believe the only difference between the C2 & the C3 was the wheelbase. Close enough!

    OK, Here we go. I can't do anything as obscure as Mr. Crashton, but I'll try to make it a little harder. If you know it Metalman, at least wait a respectful 30 seconds before posting.

    Dammit! I have to make them harder. Well done Crashton. The ball is in your court.

    Hold onto yours MINIDave: He (or she) who identifies the last one, serves the next one.

    This is a pic of a car I used to own....not THE car, but a pic of the same model. BTW, this is the only pic of one of these I've even found on the net.

    Oh, and thanks for letting me cut in line!

    Partial credit? So, what are you looking for? The year? About 1960.

    Close, but 1961......:biggrin5:

    This was built by a specific "house".....

    As such it many features completely unique designs not shared with the other Abarths built by other companies. This company is very well known, but not well known for building cars, although they commissioned a number of designs over the years..

    The chassis is Fiat, the engine is Abarth, but the car is neither of those.

    Wow, I'm impressed Nathan!

    Like I said, the only reason I know this car is because I owned one!

    Nardi commissioned a number of cars in the 50's and 60's from several of the Itallian carroseries, the Nardi 750 was built by Viginale and showcased a number of Nardi accessories - such as one of their famous wood wheels (I have one of those on my Jag) but also a special finned aluminum sump and valve cover, shift knob and a number of interior goodies.

    Nardi in those days was a little like a mini- JC whitney of Fiat accessories, only made better of course!
