Why it matters

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionAlbarella built | 201,2 | Factory production | Registry reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Savio built the Albarella from 1967 to 1969 with standard 500 F mechanics. The roof, doors and much of the side structure were removed, a simple folding canvas top was fitted and the seats were wicker-lined. One chassis, 1727461, is recorded in early-2000s auction sale records.
