It's amazing how such a little car can have such a huge price tag. This 1955 Bandini Siluro twin-cam, which we had a chance to ogle at Amelia Island this
year, not only has excellent racing history and a concours-worthy
restoration, but it's being sold by Cliff Reuter, the man who seemingly
has cornered the market on etceterini knowledge. It's not often you get
to buy a car from an expert in that car's field. From Cliff's
description:
"This Bandini (#358) is one of 46 known Bandinis in the
world today and is the only Siluro (torpedo) with a Series 2 twin cam
engine. This engine produces 71 bhp and because the car only weighs 750
pounds, it has amazing acceleration and has been timed at 115 m.p.h. It
retains all of its original metal and the engine is original to the car."
So what you buy it if you had a quarter-million dollars laying around?
