Hi, does anyone know anything about the Sestriere just sold at Aguttes? The car was in Spain and has taken part in many revival events. It is fitted with an 850 GBC engine currently.

It is recorded by incomplete Abarth production records that chassis 758169 (whether or not the blue car is the same) was bodied by MECAT near the end of what was their largely "Double Bubble" production run of approximately 275 bodies prior to the almost 50 "Sestriere" examples that they made ... with some variations in certain details. The original paint color was "beige". It was first consigned during June 1960 to the Southern California dealer, Parkinson. After that, my studies show nothing until what seems likely to be its 1988 appearance leaving Spain. Unless that was a different car?
