Among my auto 'treasures" I found a portfolio produced by Carrozzeria
Bertone S.p.A. to introduce their Ramarro to the international press in
1985.
This 8 page portfolio includes design sketches; photos of the mockup in the
design studio, the car being hand-hammered into shape; front quarter, rear
quarter and head-on view photos; plus a page with 12 photos showing details,
the rear view, close-ups of wheels, seats & logos.
The back of the portfolio has a pocket that holds 4 sheets of heavy art
paper on which are printed: a vertical format photo of the Ramarro right
side slightly to the front view; artist's drawing of three views of the
interior & another of the control console; a page of artist's drawings of
various design stages; and a page in Italian & English describing the
Ramarro and some of its specs.
I'm going to try to borrow a digital camera over the weekend to shoot this
beautiful collectible portfolio. But, if anyone has any interest, I urge
you to let me know right away & when I get photos, I'll send them right
away.
I'm offering this portfolio to the highest bid received by next Friday,
March 16 before midnight. Buyer pays insured shipping at cost ex.
Fairfield, CT, USA.
My seller's history can be vouched for by those people who bought my issues
of Alfa Romeo World last year.
