DISCOVERY AT BONHAMS

Offered for sale on April 26, 2004, the following information was provided:
- it had belonged to Giovanni Pessina.
- it was assembled under #337.
- the body number was #342.
Visually, and from the catalog photos, several features were evident:
- a special dashboard (without choke control)
- a dry sump with external filler cap on the right fender
- a very light structure, easily visible since the car was completely disassembled, but complete
- a ribbed LM racing engine with 4 attachment points.
Moreover, a few days before the sale, we learned that this car had raced at Monza in 1966, driven by Giovanni PESSINA and Piero BOTALLA.
Giovanni PESSINA was in fact only the driver; the car was owned by "Edilpark", a company owned by Edoardo SPREAFICO.
