Building on a century or so of Italian coachbuilding tradition, F & M Auto have introduced the Antas v8 GT. With experience gained from restoring rare Barchettas and Berlinettas, F & M have used traditional techniques to bring the v8 GT to life, from it’s hand built aluminum body, to its’ Maserati V8 engine. From the heart shaped grille, old style ignition flip switch to the downdraft carburetors the Antas exudes old world charm. You can almost imagine some Italian Count barrelling down some winding road in pursuit of a Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeo.
