ISO "Breadvan"

Anyone know the truth behind this oddity?

Sorry I really cannot help you with anything constructive beyond...that is very cool and I want one!

IIRC it was in an auction recently and at the last moment the catalogue description had to
be 'revised' for some reason.
I thought the revision said something about some panels being plastic and not ali
as described but I really can't remember accurately.

It mentions could be used for historic racing but no mention if it has FIA papers.

Oddity is the right word! From the front back to the doors is fine but after that, good god!

If this was a kit car and didn't have the words ISO RIVOLTA at the start it would be in the Horrors thread ...

Very 250 GT Drogo, isn't it?

Ferrari bread an was '62, IIRC and this listing says '65.

Wonder if Bizzarini was involved in this one?

Modern body on a Rivolta.

the car is on and off market for several years. I first saw it at the Essen Techno Classic some 3 years ago. I remember the car was offered by a Begian dealer. Price was in the region of Eur 80k. Later it came to auction at Coys. The breadvan is a Bizzarini construction. Based on a Iso Rivolta. I was sitting in the car and was impressed by its appearance. http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-pa...

It seems to have been spruced up a little since that earlier advert. Most notably the much nicer new black interior and also maybe a change to the rear window (?). I quite like it, but appreciate that if it's just a flight of someone's fancy it will never be that valuable, especially if it's got some GRP bodywork. I know how important FIA historic papers are to some people, even if the car they belong to is no older than some of my newest socks, but this ISO still appeals.
