> Bertone, the famous Italian auto design house has decided to sell 6 of it's well known creations from their Museum, May 21st, through RM auctions at Villa d'Este Italy.  That would be on Lake Como in northwestern Italy.  This is a very high-end auction.  You will not find and Z28 clones or Cobra kit cars being sold here.  Among the 6 are the off-white Testudo (turtle), which is a Corvair based Coupe, and has a solid top which tilts forward for entry.  I took a couple of pics of it in their Museum at the factory during an exotic car tour Mary & I did in March 2005.  I'm sure you can Search the Internet and have a look at it.  It sure does not have any resemblance to any Corvair.
