Description

One-off model on Ami 8 base
Homologated with open bodywork
4-speed manual gearbox
Complete Veglia Borletti tools

Estimate € 10,000 – 15,000

Built by engineer Castelli from Lake Como, a lover of small boats and sports cars from the 1940s, it was homologated with open bodywork and bears his name, as can be seen from the documentation. The basis from which the engineer started was the 1970 Citroen Ami 8, which had optimal characteristics for this transformation: it had a platform chassis onto which the bodywork was bolted.

The engine was an air-cooled boxer twin-cylinder with aluminium alloy heads, overhead valve timing system, 602 cm³ displacement and a maximum power output of 35 bhp SAE (or 32 bhp DIN), the gearbox was a 4-speed manual with a single dry plate clutch.

The interior is finely crafted and upholstered in real leather and enriched with real walnut root. The dashboard is equipped with Veglia Borletti full instrumentation and a splendid Personal steering wheel in wood. It is fitted with Borrani spoked wheels. It has recently been mechanically restored and is in perfect working order. It only needs the transfer of ownership to set off on a unique experience!
