Chassis:
Like most of Vignale's creations of the day, this 8V Coupe was styled by the great Giovanni Michelotti. Believed to have been completed halfway through 1953, the earliest history of this car is still a mystery. What is known, is that it was brought to California in 1957, most likely from France. It was soon after acquired by collector Richard Egizi, who would go on to own the car until 1992. Among the subsequent custodians was Bruce Milner, who had the car comprehensively restored by Auto Restorations in New Zeeland. During the restoration, the original colours were discovered and formed a guide for the eventual finish of the Vignale Coupe. In 2002, it was awarded 'Best in Class' at Pebble Beach, beating seven others to the spoils in a dedicated 8V class. Over a decade later, it also won its class at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering.
