The Gamine was a small two seat roadster produced by Carozzeria Vignale from 1967 to 1971 based on the Fiat 500 platform using the 2-cylinder air cooled engine from the 500 Sport. Car importer Frixos Demetriou even secured the rights to sell Vignale products in the UK. He bought 200 cars and they were even manufactured in right hand drive form. The Gamine two-seater was well received, becoming trendy with the Chelsea set - even night-club owner Peter Stringfellow had one!
This beautiful little Gamine was sold new in sunny Pescara, Italy in 1970 and was used in Italy until 19th May 1971. It was then sold to a German collection and resided with them from 1971 until 2012, when it was purchased by the current owner. According to the vendor, the car has not been altered or restored since new and is in completely original condition. All of the original documents from the last owner can be found in the history file, including the bill of sale in 1971 to the German collection and old pictures. There is German documentation supplied with the car and a German equivalent of an MoT.
This pretty little car has been maintained in a temperature controlled environment and used only in fine weather conditions. It has been regularly maintained and is finished in Yellow with red interior. Offered without reserve this Gamine represents a superb opportunity for any collector!
