It’s been a bit of a day. Padova Show is an absolute must…
Si, 222.4v, various Ghibli IIs and one Shamal.

lots of nice older bits, including a two-tone Mistral

Oh and a GTV Turbodelta, Giulietta Turbodelta, 2 75 Turbo Evoluziones, a Hofmann Ritmo, a couple of Ritmo Abarths, any number of 75 Turbos and V6s, an RZ, two SZs, 155 Q4, 164 Q4… I’d post images but I’m covering it for a few outlets.
Let’s just say it’s pretty much essential

Nope, that’s a Japanese market car and is a 2.8, hence being listed as a GT. The Primatist was 2.0 only and was never officially sold in Japan. There are believed to be a few Primatist replica cars produced by special order from the factory in 2.8 litre format for export markets. The usual giveaways are a lack of Primatist decals and the standard colour wood inserts on the interior, a genuine Primatist would have a very light coloured wood.

Thanks, didn’t think it was, the interior is an acquired taste so it’s been done as a copycat exercise.

Curiously, what looks like the same car is being offered at Car and Classics, except that this one is described as a Primatist Replica, is dated 1999 not 1997, has a different set of photos, and is offered by a dealer not a private seller, both of whom are however based in Tenerife.


Either these people are just confused, or there is some epic plot unfolding here that I cannot begin to fathom.

I just remembered I had seen a YouTube video of the Padova Primitvist from last year's show--


Signor Ponzio is not a fan of his obnoxious interviewer...

There are more Biturbos/Ghiblis here than I’ve ever seen. Just the one Shamal, mind, and no Barchetta.

There was a Ghibli Primatist for sale at the Padova show, too. I have no pictures.
However, to me the absolute 1st place for 'under 30k' class was a Jaguar XJR that belonged to the Alessi family (wealthy Italian family). Stunning condition, absolutely exceptional IMHO.

Luckily I didn't have 30k disposable cash in my pocket :)

@Nayf a 222.4v in Padova? Oh too bad I must have missed it. What was the asking price, and was it in good ondition, apparently?

It looked pretty good to me and it was in a nice shade of green. The Racing nearby from the same dealer was good too.
He had quite a few Biturbos/Ghiblis to choose from, plus a brace of 75s, one V6, one Turbo. Oh and a Brabus C-class…
