The aluminium coupé type body was designed and built by the Zagato coachbuilding company and is only 1.14 metres (45 in) high.
In 1957 the car gained first prize in the Competition d'elegance in the city of Rimini.[1]
It started its racing career in 1959 running at famous racing circuits including Daytona and was entered by the Racemaster team with drivers Victor Lukens and Fred Haynes in the 1960 Sebring International Raceway 12 hour race[3] where it was forced to retire after 27 laps with a broken radiator.
The frame of the 750 Bandini GT came from the Bandini 750 sport siluro with a slight increase in size and the adoption of a rear anti-roll bar.
The Bandini GT used the Bandini DOHC engine.
