The history of this car according to Tony Adriaensens "Otto Vu - Siata derivata Fiat" is as follows -
The car was a Siata 208/S, chassis no. BS532, engine no. BS132 new in 1954 and bodied by Motto.
First owner was Jean Terrail of France and the car was registered 1340 IT 75.
It competed in many events (racing, rallying and Concours d'Elegance) between 1954 and 1957.
Linas-Montlhéry was the circuit where it was raced with some success and it also competed in the Rallye Soleil-Cannes in 1955.
The car also appeared at Enghien in 1956.
It was heavily modified in the late 1950s/early 1960s with a revised nose and rear by a company/person unknown.
Christophe Pund, the historic racing car dealer, located the car in the mid-1990s in a warehouse in Calais, still having its original engine and parts. The car was then restored and sold a couple of years later.
The following photos are credited to Christophe Pund and show the car at Enghien in 1956 and as found at Calais in the mid-1990s.
