Actually I've always wondered-- werethere giant stamping machines that stamped out fenders and the other bodypanels for Panteras?

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

It was wonderful.

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

still.  Although the roofline is low, the seating position is veryreclined, 
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 crushthe 
European continent in one, fast go.
