Owner:
Ian Nilsson (SE)
Note:
The car was purchased at the Bizzarrini family farm workshop in Castelnuovo della Misericordia (LI); it appeared without license plates, already bearing the “SCUDERIA BIZZARRINI” script on the rear window, a designation created by Giotto himself after the bankruptcy. In the book BIZZARRINI by Jack Koobs de Hartog, published in September 2027, a statement by Nilsson is reported: "all I have is a B507 on the car and also the "official" number plus what Giotto said when I bought it, also the fact that already in 1974 it was well used with some 50000kms on the clock and the fact that it had the Scuderia Bizzarrini on the rear screen like on 307. The matching engine number as on 511, I remember also that Giotto in the Europa story said that 507 was in Sweden. It certainly is not a car built after the bankcrupty, all the correct details are". The car had 60,000 km at the time of purchase. Nilsson had already purchased from Giotto the GT Strada 5300 IA3*0307 on April 20, 1976.
