Giulietta Sprint Zagato ‘Coda Tronca’.\u00a0 <\/strong>Elmar sent me a link to this car on Autoscout<\/a>, for sale out of Italy for \u20ac270,000.\u00a0 They made about 200 SZ’s, the last handful of which were ‘Coda Tronca’ (CT is how I abbreviate it other places) with the Kamm tail.\u00a0 I have no authority to say anything about these cars, so will keep the commentary to a lot of ‘oohs’ and ‘aaahs’.\u00a0 Anyone know the VIN of this car?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A handsome critter.\u00a0 Note they figured out how to incorporate a wind deflector into the hood.\u00a0 I wonder if it also provides pressure relief for the engine compartment like the louvers on an SS hood?\u00a0 Helps keep the front end from getting light at speed.\u00a0 That nose is like a big egg; white, bulbous and extremely fragile.\u00a0 No parallel parking allowed in a car like this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not a fan of the stripes, but I do get the concept.\u00a0 To me they just busy up a sublime design.\u00a0 Zagato knew what they were doing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is one of those features that takes some coming around to.\u00a0 Most fantasy cars drawn in the margins of children’s homework don’t have a chopped off flat tail.\u00a0 Pictures don’t do it justice -it really works in person.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fish-eye is expecially the opposite of flattering.\u00a0 I’m sure most women would strictly prohibit the publication of a picture of them with a similar composition.\u00a0 Compare these minimal window frame\/trims to those found on your Sprint Bertone Regulare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zagato interiors always have an pleasing austerity born of the directive to save weight, secure the driver, be buildable by hand in small numbers and provide instrumentation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been experimenting with wrinkle finish on some Glas GT and Lancia Appia components.\u00a0 This must represent a proper spray gun technique.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Sprint 1300 is not a slow car.\u00a0 A Sprint Veloce is even less slow.\u00a0 Lose some weight, add some compression and you get an even less slow car.\u00a0 This all looks great<\/strong> -purposeful and tidy.<\/strong><\/p>\n
