One of our most memorable restorations to date has been a beautifully rare 1959 Fiat Abarth Zagato GT750, better known by enthusiasts as the“ Double Bubble” thanks to its iconic twin-domed roof. This particular car is truly special. Once owned by Hollywood actor Kenneth Mars, it is one of only 11 examples ever produced in the striking Blu Oriente paint finish.
Over the past 18 months, our team has carried out a complete nut-andbolt restoration, carefully returning the car to its original glory. The body was stripped back to bare metal, with every trace of corrosion repaired before being refinished, inside and out, in its original Blu Oriente colour. Every mechanical component, including the engine, gearbox, brakes and running gear, was rebuilt, while the interior was expertly retrimmed and reassembled to factory specification.
Watching this remarkable little Abarth gradually come back to life has been incredibly rewarding. Restoring a car of this rarity is about respecting the craftsmanship, heritage and history behind every panel, bolt and stitch. Projects like this are why we love what we do. Every restoration is about preserving a piece of automotive history for future generations to enjoy.
