You don't want to own it, as unless you have a few million to burn, as you can't afford it. Shit, I currently could not afford what my mint VW Westy is worth, in todays market. The catch is that anything made the mid 90s is becoming very ex$pensive...

I'm 28 years old and happened to have read a whole book about Giotto Bizzarrini a few years back after my dad persuaded me to do so. I personally think it's a pure blessing to have learned so much about a car marque that so few people know about and the importance of preserving historic car knowledge through generations. Before collecting and/or racing cars it's good to know a bit of car history: that way you understand the difference between a normal production line vehicle and a hand built sports car. The first is a tool and the latter is just pure emotion wrapped in a a body shell. Great video! P.S: I think Giotto was also involved in the development of the wondeful Iso Grifo

Bruce Meyer is, without any doubt, the coolest guy in the car hobby. His collection is world-class; in this video you can see some of his other cars, including the Briggs Cunningham No. 2 LeMans Corvette and the C6.R class-winning LeMans car. But what impresses most is his enthusiasm for sharing his love for these cars. They are not hidden in a warehouse somewhere but present at all kinds of events. I have never seen a video featuring Mr. Meyer where he does not come across as totally likeable--after all, this is the man who persuaded the Pebble Beach Concours to add hot rods. The Bizzarrini video is just so perfect, reflecting both the passion of the Italian maker but also that of the American collector. And that small block Chevy sound...ahh!

It was 117 degrees the day we filmed this piece and he was driving a furnace around the track. Smiled the whole time, never complained, even when emerging out of the car completely soaked (or when we asked him to wait while we made adjustments to camera). I would strongly campaign for a "how to be Bruce" course early in one's academic career. :)

Someone should tell Bruce Meyer that a propane fuel kit for a 327 can replace the four carbs, so they can be preserved, and more importantly, so he can register it in a decade, despite being an ICE engine car. I wonder how long I will be allow to register my 91 Vanagon Westy, here in the West Coast.

I had the pleasure of driving on a rally with Bruce last year through the Arizona desert. He was in an E-type semi-lightweight. I was in a Renault Alpine. Stringing together the corners like pearls on a necklace... it was an unforgettable experience. And, he is a man who can truly showcase the potential of a car! Short of one race-spec 2.7 Carrera RS, there was nothing other than his E-Type lightweight that could keep up with us in the canyons! If nothing else, it was a pleasure driving with ya', Bruce! :)
