Frixos Demetriou was a successful casino owner in Cyprus and the owner of the Olympic gaming club in London. While in Milan by chance when a flight to Athens was diverted he spotted an unusual looking car by the airport and on inquiry discovered that it was a Fiat Gamine Vignale. The Gamine was a stylish small two seat roadster produced by Carozzeria Vignale from 1967 to 1971 based on the Fiat 500 platform using the 2-cylinder air cooled engine from the 500 sport. Demetriou was looking to diversify his business interests and sensing an opportunity he returned via Turin. securing the rights to sell Vignale products in the UK. He bought 200 cars up front paying with and committed to buy the next 6 months production if Vignale would manufacture the car in right hand drive form. The Gamine two-seater was well received. becoming trendy with the Chelsea set - even night-club owner Peter Stringfellow had one. The Gamine we offer here was purchased in October 1968 from Demetriou's Queensway premises. the first owner paying the princely sum of �700 as shown on the original invoice supplied in the history file. Still with its original owner. the Gamine was moved to Jersey In August 1977 where it remained for a number of years. In 2009 it was sold by the son of the original owner and re-registered in the UK in November of that year in the name of the new owner. Our Gamine is very beautifully presented with bright paintwork and is in superb overall condition including the weather equipment. The history file includes invoices for cosmetic work and a gearbox overhaul carried out to maintain the delightful little car's excellent overall condition This charming Gamine Vignale is great fun to drive and simple to maintain and a character full roadster which would be a much loved addition to any household. or as a tender to a private yacht

Hi! I am building an international Vignale Gamine Register. Could you send me the VIN of this Gamine? We already have 52 RHD Gamines in the Register. Thanks! Martin
