Either way, this American car is most probably the only survivor. It is in fact a 1958 Series 2, so theoretically not Mille Miglia eligible, but no doubt the organisers would look kindly on an entry!
Edit: I should have read the link carefully! I see the car advertised is 812.01-1031 with a long-term northern Italian history, in which case it's not the car that I have on record (and therefor may well be a 1957 car). I have details of 812.01-1049 which sold on Bring a Trailer probably fifteen or even twenty years ago; at that time the seller was in, I think, Arizona (may have been Texas) and clearly that was not this car, which means there are at least two survivors! |
