About my Vignale GamineThe car was built as a rolling chassis with a "110F" engine at Fiat's Mirrafiori in 1968. Given the carrozzeria code "“s/c”. it wad sent to the "Vignale" factory where a unique 2 door spider body was installed. The Gamine was Alfredo Vignale's pet project. designed and manufactured in his factory as a first mass-produced car. The Vignale business went bankrupt and sold to DeTomaso in 1971. It is believed that less than 300 Gamines were made. a large portion of them for the UK (RHD).
