1967 Bizzarrini 1900 GT Europa

150 0521roadItaly

Engine: 1.9L inline-four (Opel), mid-mounted, 110 bhp

The Bizzarrini 1900 GT Europa was introduced in 1967 as a more accessible companion to the V8-powered 5300 GT, using a mid-mounted 1,900 cc Opel engine producing 110 bhp in a lightweight fibreglass body weighing just 650 kg. With independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a limited-slip differential, it was a capable machine of which only approximately 12 were made. This example passed from the factory to Giorgio Giordanengo and subsequently to Belgian ownership, carrying invoices documenting recent maintenance.
