The Manta was Giorgetto Guigiaro first car under his new 'Ital Design' Company. It was based on a retired racing chassis, the P-538, provided by Bizzarrini. Purportedly, the car was created in forty days in order to make the 1969 Turin Auto Show. The Manta is a one-off and re-numbered as 6901. Current owner purchased the manta in March 2005 in an 'almost finished' restored condition which was completed in 2006 by Rod Drew of F.A.I. in Costa Mesa, California. It won First in Class at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2005 and a class award at Amelia Island in 2006. | |
