On the Ferrari by Bertone, I was wondering, in digging up 50-year old gossip if it’s true that Nuccio had to pay for the Ferrari chassis, that Ferrari wouldn’t give him one just to see what he could do on one. That question applies to the split-grille swb 250GT and this car. Was the one shown at Villa d’Este also a Giugiaro design (sort of resembles his Aston Martin DB4/GT one off by Bertone, the Jet). Any opinions why Nuccio got no orders from Ferrari Spa while other coachbuilders did? The only order I an think of for coachwork that Bertone ever got from Ferrari was the 308GT/4 which I think styling wise, is a clunker compared to the 308GTB/GTS and its offspring.
