An extraordinary example of Opel 1900 GT Group 4 prepared by Virgilio Conrero, a legendary figure in Italian motorsport engineering and a key player in touring and GT racing during the 1960s and 1970s.

It was also featured in a major editorial in “Grace” magazine (January 2009), further enhancing its historical traceability and prestige.
