This car was for sale in 1972.
There's an ad from "Old Fashion Cars Italiana" in Milan: 16.000.000 Lire
To give you an idea a Ferrari 365 gtb4 Spider was 11.250.000 Lire, the Mercedes Benz 600 was 16.350.000 Lire and 19.600.000 lire for a Rolls Royce T.

A very rare contemporary photo of the Tapiro and a proof that it was fully driveable:

We have images of this car from the creation process, and as displayed to the world at auto shows. 

Now for a more recent image, after it was the victim of a fire bomb:

(I found a picture of this car being rescued from a salvage yard, but cannot seem to retrieve it)
