This car was originally sold to Count Castelbarco with Zagato Styled fenders and bodywork to make it a sports car eligible for the 1993 Mille Miglia. It finished 2nd to Nuvolari’s Spider Bodied Monza where Franco Cortese drove most of the race. It was raced frequently in 1933 and 1934 without fenders and crashed mildly in the 1933 Monza race after which it was sold and continued to compete in 1934. It competed in the 1938 Le Mans after which it raced in English Club events. The car came to America in the 1950’s and is still entirely original except for recent front fenders restored by Christopher Leydon Restorations.
Taken at the 2014 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
