The photo with Alejandro appears to show a more complete car with actual shut lines on the hood and lights, wipers, mirrors and driving lights, plus real glass with possibly an interior?

The concept cat that is for sale looks to be nothing more than a plug pulled from a fiberglass mold. The mold and this plug can be seen in many photos of the abandoned factory, looks like some enterprising individual may have got hold of it?

Interestingly in this photo it has gained some wheels

I wonder if that Innocenti in the back will soon go up for sale!

I just love the Nuova, I would have bought it if it was produced. Also on display when I was there in 2009 was the frame/driveline, Ford engine and lots of fine performance parts.

Back then the wheels were on the mockup, when I revisited in 2014(?) the wheels were gone. It looked like Joules' first picture

Pantera 2000

That's one super looking rear end I must say!
