Amazing, ZF1 has been finding an incredible number of parts, but also came across 3 pictures that I think have been all but lost until now, telling the story of the evolution between the DT001 gold "pusher" car and the earliest known customer cars.
There must be more pictures, but these appear to be of the Ghia offering probably in late 1967 or early 1968. The 2 Mangustas have traits that we've only seen before on the "Red" car, esp the Fulvia turn signals, solid rear bumper, and (at least on the yellow car) the external hinge.
I am convinced, the red cars is the so called "DT/6003" described in the 1968 Sports Car Graphic. See also https://pantera.infopop.cc/top...angusta-script-logo, and especially Denis' information on the "red" car, presented in the volume 7 #3 AutoMobile Quarterly where owner/editor Dan Vorderman took the famous "autumn leaves' picture. see attached (both articles)
The Ludvigsen article (the one after the Kovacik's Sports Car Graphic) is very interesting, esp when realizing the fast pace DeT was on in between the ~November 1966 Turin introduction, then 4 more prototypes (whatever that means) before the 1967 Turin show, in the meanwhile Ghia and DeT becoming subsidiaries to Rowan Industries (who was not really all that big...and as eager for electric cars. Wow, a spine chassis made of batteries!). Note also the DT/6003 naming convention for at least the red prototype, we have always wanted to correlate these to 8MA500 numbers and only maybe this is true...
But what a dramatic pace to get this car into production, even if that production in 1H 1968 was slow (see the comments in the AQ article, which dating by Vorderman ownership in Connecticut probably means early October leaves in those pictures 
).
There must be many more pictures out there of these early cars, even if in the background of the Ghibli introduction. But what a find, ZF1...! Lee
