Bizzarrini

This was one of the cars taking part in the Coys of Kensington GT Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.
Shown in the programme of the event as a 5.7 litre 1963 Bizzarrini Le Mans, it was driven in the race by Brian Classic. Giotto Bizzarrini, who had previously worked with Alfa Romeo and Ferrari joined forces with Renzo Rivolta to develop the Iso Rivolta GT, the Iso Grifo, and the Iso Grifo A3L and A3C. Following a disagreement with Renzo Rivolta in 1964 Giotti Bizzarrini split with Iso forming his own company and continued producing the Iso Grifo A3C which was renamed the Bizzarrini 5300 GT.

On 30 November 2015 I showed a photograph of an Iso Grifo A3C at Silverstone in July 2000.
