The Attractions
In the second half of the 1960s, Autozodiaco of Bologna decided to start producing dune buggies, which were all the rage around the world at the time, by launching its 'Jumper' range. And we are sure that very few Autozodiacos are capable of jumping as high and running as fast as this fantastic 1972 example, which is equipped with a 1.7-litre, air-cooled, opposed-cylinder Porsche 914 engine.
This extraordinary discovery is made all the more attractive by its excellent condition, with gleaming purple paint and a four-seater cabin with two-tone upholstery. It is truly a unique car that brings back the 'cool' vibe of 1970s summers.
The seller told us that the odometer shows only 2,800 km and that this car has only had two owners since new. Its technical specifications include two 40 mm twin-body carburettors, a pulse fuel pump and front disc brakes. The overhaul is valid until June 2027.
For enthusiasts looking for something truly special, a truly unique sports car with an authentic Porsche powertrain, this rare Autozodiaco represents an unmissable opportunity.
