Yes the Mini Gatto is soo much more then the Zimp,s = this one is the first, and a much more bespoke interior 8-)
the Zimp,s look like they kept the std Imp dash.

And as Mark say, that price on old no 8, really pushed the boundaries regarding prices, so who knows whats next.

This Mini Gotto looks like a notch back version of the Lancia Fulvia Zagato and shares many styling cues. I also think the Lancia had the same style of side opening bonnet.

Imagine this with a conventional boot lid instead of a fastback.

I wonder what the present vendors reserve price is, as it may be worth buying and sending it direct to Bonhams for a quick profit!

Believe me Surf, with the current reserve price you won't make a quick profit on this one. Or perhaps I should never say never, looking at the silly price No.8 fetched...
