If your car collection has been in need of a crown jewel, then we highly recommend taking a look at Auctomobile’s upcoming Premium Cars online auction on April 14th. There are three stunning automobiles going under the hammer: a unique 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint Supergioiello, a fabulous 1938 BMW 328 Roadster, and then of course our favourite of the lot, this knee-buckling 1974 Bizzarrini P538. The penultimate car built of a series of eight under the direction of legendary designer Giotto Bizzarrini, this Bizzarrini is the only narrow-bodied version of its kind, as requested by its first owner so it could be driven along the village of Viareggio’s narrow streets.
Not only is it obscenely beautiful - just look at that rear - but it’s mighty potent too, packing a whopping 480hp into its slender 800kg body. Thanks to its narrower-than-usual body, this is actually the lightest P538 ever made, and as a result it packs a Veyron-beating power to weight ratio! Originally equipped with a Lamborghini V12 from a 400 GT, it has since had a heart transplant and was fitted with a far more reliable, lighter Chevrolet V8. So, if you have a functioning pair of eyes and a beating heart, we know you’re already looking forward to Auctomobile’s Premium Cars auction on April 14th.
