I have a 1961. Where can I find more information on the history.

Just 47 102/2000 cars were bodied in total by Vignale, according to Ms.Ruocco, who used to be the head of the archives before she retired.

Not all 47 are the same. I know of at least 10 that are different from each other.

If your car is the white car with the red interior that was in Los Angeles some 20+ years ago, at one time it was owned by Angie Dickenson, the actress...

Yes, the car is white with red interior. Is it known how many of the original 47 are still accounted for?

This has been a busy day for this thread, but I guess it is a big day when one of the twelve or so remaining cars resurfaces after so many years. I noticed that this is the most recent discussion since 2003. How many people on this thread are owners? I'm wondering how so much information is shared amongst those here even though the original information is hard to come across.

Yes, it is a big day for a car that belongs to a limited and therefore production line to show up again (I hope we get to see pictures soon

).

You may be the only owner who participated directly in this thread.

One of the reason there is so much discussion is that the group of 2000/2600 enthusiasts are not only interested in the cars they own but also in the history of the whole family of these cars.

Special bodied cars appear and disappear on the scene. When they change hands, it is often to owners who do their own thing and/or do not want to be identified. Rarely is a special-bodied car the only car they own or the crown jewel in their collection (mostly due to higher priced Giulias or Giuliettas with race provenance). Language and cultural preferences can also be a huge barrier (e.g. when dealing with owners in Italy or Japan who do not want to give out the chassis number).

Funny thing is that last week two more Vignale coupes turned up. I received some pictures - one car is in good one in a very bad condition, both in Switzerland and both of the single headlamp sort - like Delmas Greenes car. I trying to get more information about these cars...

This car has been in my family for a number of years now. I'd looked for information on it before but thanks to the glory of the internet and you all, I've just recently been able to find out more information. The car came up in discussion recently so I started looking around again. I would like to begin compiling the car's individual history but it appears from the discussions I've read that obtaining original records may prove difficult.

This car does have the double headlamps and looks similar to the "Type 3b" on your register. I'll take a look soon to see the flag colors etc.
