Fiat 500 as the donor car is correct, but I have another name for the coachbuilder and a different name for the car itself.

Locked for you for 24h.

Spiaggina is Spiaggia. It's designed by Boano, is that the name? It is also called Boano Spider

Okay, it's Onassis and Churchill in 1960 in Greece.
Onassis was on the yacht of Onassis. This car was on Onassis yacht.
Plus Jacky. O. i presume? Or Maria Callas...

O.K., it is Onassis, but itīs the wrong year, because Churchill was dead when this picture s been taken.

I cannot give you a point, yet. :'(

I still need the correct model designation Boano Spider ********

And the where and when...

But this puzzle is still LOCKED for you.

This picture was taken in September 1966 by Maryanne Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn.  It was Aristotle Onassis trying to repair the car on the island of Skorpios.

EDIT: Aaron has re-edited his reply and I did not see it.

Now everything is perfect and the second point is for him!

THIS MAKES AARON AN EXPERT.

Congratulations!

This very picture was featured in a report called "Summer of the Sixties" on French/German network ARTE. It was about the most glamerous period of European high-society. (with Hans Sachs, Brigitte Bardot, Helmut Berger, Jacky Kennedy, Onassis etc. — unfortuntely not available as a podcast)

Hi there, almnost 7 years after your final comments on this discussion, you helped me identify a car I am researching for (Thank God for internet and enthousiasts' sites).

Can you please help me with some information?

Do you know how many copies Savio built of the Boano Spider Elegance?
Do you have any indications as to what its current market value may reach?

Thank you all and keep up!

Hi panchristo,

good to hear that one more of those seems to have survived.

I cannot answer your questions - however I would advise you to contact our member "Paul Jaray" - I guess he might be able to tell you more...
