When was the last time you saw one of these beauties?

The early Berlina’s have a much cooler dash design than the second gen cars and the Nardi style steering wheel looks very much at home.  The seats look like they were donated from a car with a different color interior.  Around 2005, I owned a pretty decent 1973 Berlina that I called Giuseppe.  It was a fun car to drive and actually got a lot of attention living in the NYC area at the time.  You could literally drive the car at 9/10’s nearly all the time because of the mild power level and encouraging engine.  Soon after I sold the car, the values of these cars significantly increased and now fetch over 10k for decent examples.
