Recent Complete Restoration!... A Rare Italian Roadster!... 1966 Fiat Gamine Coachwork by: Carrozzeria Vignale Chassis No. 110F1820976 Engine No. 110F0001928647 499 CC Air-Cooled Two-Cylinder Engine, 21 BHP, 4-Speed Manual Transmission, 4-Wheel Hydraulic Drum Brakes, Front Traverse Leaf Spring Suspension, Rear Coil-Spring Suspension. As one of the premier Italian coachbuilders, Vignale designed and built bodies for Ferrari, Maserati, Lancia and Cunningham among others. The Gamine was Alfredo Vignale's personal project that was produced in limited numbers by Vignale's own manufacturing plant under the name Carozzeria Vignale. The car was based on the Fiat Nuova 500 Sport, but was rebodied at the Vignale plant. No one knows exactly how many Gamines were built, but the best estimates are around 300. There are very few of these unique vehicles left in existence, especially in this kind of condition. Within the last half decade, the Gamine has received a full nut-and-bolt restoration bringing it to a condition deserving of its rarity and Vignale heritage. This handsome little car is nicely presented in Rosso Dino, a striking orange red over tan hides with complementary red piping. Behind the front grille and freestanding headlamps is a compartment that houses the gas tank and spare tire, with power coming from the rugged Fiat two-cylinder in the rear. All open compartments are fully detailed and look show room fresh. The car remains visually stunning today, but your detailer will point out a couple small paint drips, and a slight buckling in the glove compartment door, which are all easily repaired. It has a very nice under carriage, highly detailed engine bay and overall shows very well. These wonderfully eccentric pieces of Italian automotive history are now very sought after, attracting a cult following for a charming character and their unique Vignale history. While good examples of the Gamine are few and far between, this pristine example will surely invite attention wherever it goes and provide a truly special open-top motoring experience.
