Neri and Bonacini, also known as Nembo, was a small carrozzeria and mechanic shop based in Modena, Italy, active from the late 1950s to around 1967. Founded and run by Giorgio Neri and Luciano Bonacini, the shop worked on and produced bodies for Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati road and race cars, both in an official capacity for those manufacturers and for private owners. Their best known projects are the Ferrari 250 GT-based Nembo spiders (built in collaboration with Tom Meade) and the Lamborghini 400GT Monza. Neri and Bonacini also designed a car under their own name, the Neri and Bonacini Studio GT Due Litri. Two prototypes of this car were made between 1966-1968 but it never entered series production. The shop closed around 1967 when Bonacini went to work for De Tomaso and Neri started his own shop, Motors-World-Machines (MWM). The nickname of the firm, "Nembo," was invented because it was a convenient contraction of the proprietors' names and because it evoked the Nembo Kid, an Italian comic book version of Superman. Racing cars Neri and Bonacini were employed by the Maserati factory racing program as mechanics and body fabricators. Following the closure of Maserati's racing program in the late 1950s, they began maintaining customer-owned Maserati racing cars through their own independent firm. They also took commissions for modifying racing and road cars from other manufacturers such as Ferrari, Iso and ASA, only some of which are well documented. Neri and Bonacini were involved in the construction of at least one Bizzarrini P538. Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan Neri and Bonacini assisted in the production of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan, designed by Giotto Bizzarrini for Count Giovanni Volpi's Scuderia Serenissima. Neri and Bonacini performed the mechanical modifications of the donor 250 GT, while the new body was created by Piero Drogo's Carrozzeria Sports Cars. They also mechanically modified two additional competition Ferrari 250 SWBs (S/N 2053 GT and 2735 GT) rebodied for privateer racing drivers by Bizzarrini and Drogo, with designs inspired by the Breadvan. Iso Daytona The Iso Daytona or Iso Nembo was designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and Renzo Rivolta as a racing car that could also be adapted for street use. It used an American V8 engine in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, a lightweight aluminum body, independent front suspension and rear de Dion axle. After Bizzarrini left Iso in 1965, Neri and Bonacini were contracted
