Chassis:
The fourth and final A6GCS/53 Pinin Farina Berlinetta built, this car was sold new to Scuderia Centro Sud. For reasons unknown, the bodywork was removed and was replaced by a Fiandri Barchetta body. In this guise, it was used by Centro Sud for the team's racing school. In 1970, it was acquired by Count Hubertus von Doenhoff. By that time, the Pinin Farina body had long been sold and fitted to another A6GCS/53 chassis. In vain, Count von Doenhoff tried for many years to acquire another Pinin Farina body, originally fitted to chassis 2057. Eventually he had a completely new body built in England by Church Green Engineering. Painted silver, it was offered by Bonhams in their 2002 London sale with a GBP 550,000 - 700,000 estimate but offers failed to meet the reserve.
