This rare Ghia aluminum bodied coupé was probably built with the intention of going to the Tutin Motor Show in 1954 but was sold to a Hollywood film director in California where it was given a new aluminum V8 engine in 1958. The car was sold several times in the U.S. and has been owned by Belgian collector Jan de Reu since 2007. It was presented at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2008 where it gathered Mention of Honour in Class E Speed and Style - Sports Cars in Italian Suits.
