Chassis:
Entered by the factory, chassis 3061 was first raced by privateer racer Cesare Perdisa and Gino Valenzano in the Sebring 12 Hours. They placed fourth, four laps behind the winning Jaguar D-Type. At the end of the year, it was sold to Baron Carlo Pottino from Palermo, Italy. In 1956, it was raced to a fifth overall in the Targa Florio and fourth in the Giro delle Calabrie by Pietro Pottino and Clemente Ravetto. It was then returned to the factory where it was upgraded to the long nose specification. Chassis 3061 was then acquired by Cesare Perdisa, who only briefly raced the car. During the 1960s, it was sold to France where it remained until 2000 when it joined the impressive stable of John McCaw. In more recent years, it has returned to Italy, where it was restored to its original, short-nose configuration.
