History

The car was probably imported through Tony Pompeo – NY, USA without an engine and accessorized to receive a Crosley 724cc. It seems that the car was sold new by Blauschild Motors - Cleveland, OH, USA (without engine).
First confirmed racing history begins with Richard Yares, from 1952 to 1955, it seems that the car changed color a few times during this period.
After Richard Yares, Alvin E. Beasley was the other prolific racer of the 50's (1956-61).
In its recent history the car has numerous Mille Miglia participations as well as a few Concours d'Elegance. Her current owner, the "pilotessa" Sylvia Oberti, is one the few to have successfully competed in the Mille Miglia as a solo driver ! - Check out the link section for interesting information about Sylvia.
