Here is an oppurtunity to acquire a really well sorted 'Double Bubble'.
The engine currently fitted is based on a Fiat 843 engine and prepared by PBS Engineering 'back in the day'. It pulls strongly and provides very lively performance. A Middle Barton Garage rebuilt 750 engine of the correct type (block, cylinder head etc) is included in the sale.
The presentation of this Zagato legend is superb. The exterior, interior and underside are truly excellent.
