History
The Siata 300 BC with the registration BH-19-76 was first introduced to Portugal in the autumn of 1953, brought by amateur racer Daniel de Magalhães. Magalhães quickly adapted to the car, marking the beginning of a notable racing career for this vehicle. The car participated in numerous rallies and races throughout the 1950s and beyond, achieving various class victories and podium finishes. It remained active in the Portuguese motorsport scene until 2012. At some point it has been transformed into a barchetta and is currently restored as a coupe in Portugal.
