Chassis:
This 8V was delivered as a rolling chassis to the Zagato works on July 31st of 1953. After it was fitted with a body, it was campaigned from July 1954 to October 1954 by Elio Zagato himself. He recorded many class victories in Italian races. The highlight of its career came in the sixth Coppa InterEuropa two hour race in September, where Zagato took the overall victory with a new distance and lap record. It was sold in February of 1955 to Paolo Colombo, who continued to race 000058 very successfully. At the 2004 InterClassics in Maastricht, The Netherlands, it was shown on the TopMobiel display in highly original condition. It has since been acquired by a noted American Zagato enthusiast, who has had it meticulously restored.
