Both are not quite complete, but.

Actually I've always wondered-- were there giant stamping machines that
stamped out fenders and the other body panels for Panteras?

I haven't had the pleasure of driving a Bizz yet but have ridden in one of
the factory Comp "rivet" cars.

It was wonderful.

Iso Grifos and the Rivolta coupe are also very nicely done. These cars are
all completely handmade and the values are reflecting that now.

still.  Although the roofline is low, the seating position is very reclined,

and the cabin is very long front-to-back.  It is MUCH less cramped than a 
Pantera, even though the center tunnel is much more pronounced.  Occupants 
have their legs splayed to the sides, so there isn't a lot of side-to-side 
footroom.  But it's an extremely comfortable and fast car, meant to crush
the 
European continent in one, fast go.
