- A clever and intriguing lightweight sports car
- Recently professionally restored and lightly customised
- Supercharged Ford engine from a period Formula 3 car
Benefiting from a recent professional restoration and light customisation, this Vallelunga is unique. One of just 50 cars built by Ghia, this very example was delivered new on 27 May 1967 to Varese, Italy. The Vallelunga resided in Northern Italy and Rome until 1983. In June 2003 it was purchased by a Spanish De Tomaso enthusiast and exported to Barcelona, where it was professionally restored and cleverly modified with a series of period correct improvements that one could envisage De Tomaso himself suggesting.
The guards of the fibreglass body have been slightly widened to accommodate 13-inch Cromodora wheels, and a four-cylinder Ford engine sourced from a period Formula 3 car has been fitted with a supercharger, drawing through a Weber Type 48 carburettor. The correct Volkswagen-sourced De Tomaso gearbox remains. The Vallelunga has covered just 4,000 kilometres since completion, and presents an exciting driving opportunity for its next owner. The car comes with cancelled Spanish registration documents.
