Bandini Automobili, better known as Bandini, was an Italian automotive manufacturer that was established in 1946. The small company was headed by Ilario Bandini, and built a wide range of racing and sports cars, including the 750 and 1100. These limited production, handbuilt cars achieved success on the track and became highly regarded around the world. Bandini continued to build cars into the 1980s, before the company was shut down after Ilario Bandini's passing in 1992.
