If you are prepared to extend the range to include Giulia Supers, I know of one that was purchased by its current owner on June 30 1966, the last day of the financial year.

Any chance you could post a photo of the car?  Love the early GT's.

Hi All,
Thanks for your interest. I bought the car from Talbot Motors in Collingwood, Victoria for $11,800.It's not concours but it is in very good condition and has never been trashed. It has travelled 160000Km  and still drives magnificently and an absolute gem on open roads. There is no rust and is mostly as it was when I bought it. Inside is all original except for the horn buttons and stitching on the front seats. One front indicator lens needed replacing so I replaced both, all I could find at the time were the single colour euro type. The intention was to use amber paint on half but I'm not sure how well it works.
Cheers All, and thanks again for your interest.
