1966 Bizzarini P538 Spyder Prototype
Chassis Number: P538/001
Unlike the other Bizzarinis that followed this prototype example, the chassis was made out of pressed steel, welded into box tubes similar to a front engine car. This was a more costly and complicated procedure only used on the P538 in Italian it’s called a “telaio profilato”. This absolutely beautiful example won 2nd Place at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1990. Ownership history: In 1968, Hans-Uli Buechli purchased the car from the Bizzarini Facility. The car was then sold to Steven Langton Limited, England. In 1987, the car was sold to Oliver Kuttner of Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1995, the car was sold to Todd Morici of Morici Motorsports in New Jersey. In 1996, the car was sold to a private collection and in 2001 the car was acquired by the Blackhawk Collection in Danville, California.
