Further enhancing the car’s collector appeal are its rare and highly desirable 16-inch wheels, an important detail on an early Pre-A Speedster.

The restoration is documented through an extensive photographic archive comprising more than 400 images, providing a detailed record of the work carried out. The car is also accompanied by Italian registration and ACI/ CSAI certification and is eligible for participation in the Mille Miglia.
