"Chassis CS058 First shown at the 1953 Brussels Salon, chassis CS058 was one of the very last cars clothed
by Stabilimenti Farina. It was one of six cars to receive the very low competition 'Berlinetta' body that was
most likely penned by Giovanni Michelotti.
In 1955 Siata turned the car into a roadster to lengthen its competition career. A year later the now unique
Stabilimenti Farina Spyder was entered in the Giro di Sicilia and the Gran Premio di Napoli".

"Chassis CS052 was probably the second 8V engined Siata built. It was one of just six 208s clothed by
Stabilimenti Farina before they went bankrupt in 1953. These six were slightly lower than the later Balbo
bodied cars thanks to pinched chassis rails that allowed the seat to be fitted lower in the chassis.
The striking Siata was one of the stars of the 1952 Turin Auto Show. It nevertheless had to be pulled from
the stand before the final day to get it prepared for the Mille Miglia. Here the car entered with start number
542 and raced by Tullini and Rossi to an early retirement. A sister car finished 11th overall, showcasing the
new Siata's abilities.

After the Mille Miglia, chassis CS052 was returned to the Siata factory and some minor improvements were
carried through. It was subsequently sold to an Italian enthusiast, who campaigned the car for many more
years. In the early 1960s the Stabilimenti Farina Berlinetta was sold to the United States where eventually
ended up in the fabulous collection of Siata expert Jarl de Boer. In 2002 a Dutch collector bought the car and
many spares from De Boer and had it completely restored.

Now fully restored to the highest standards, the very important Siata will be offered during Bonhams' Quail
Auction on August 14, 2009. The pre-sale estimate is a staggering $1,600,000 - $1,900,000."

El 208 cs interesantísimo diseño también, se nota la mano de "Pinnin"

¿Sabíais que SIATA acabó sus días precisamente a través de su filial española? ¿Y que los descendientes de sus fundadores están debidamente arraigados aquí?... ;)

Celebro que os guste. ;)

Y es realmente curiosa le evolución de la marca que resalta Scigulín: De fabricar dream cars en Italia a las furgonetas del panadero en España. :)

[size=14pt]Siata Factory Racer Added to Quail Sale – Bonhams


Bonhams Bonhams announced they will offer the ex-works 1952 Siata 208 CS Berlinetta
at their annual Quail Lodge auction on August 14th in Carmel Valley, California.


This rare Italian racer, with gorgeous coachwork by Stabilimenti Farina in Torino, is powered by a Siata-modified Fiat 8V, 2 liter, alloy engine with dual twin downdraft Weber carbs, and a 3-point suspended alloy differential, driven through a 4-speed box and is regarded as one of the most brilliant designs ever created by the marque.

Siata had a close collaboration with Fiat and got involved in the development of the Fiat 8V at an early stage. It is generally recognized that the suspension and chassis construction of the Fiat 8V was carried out in close collaboration with Siata, with its headquarters based in Torino.

Interestingly enough, Siata tested the first Fiat 8V engine in the Giro di Sicilia on March 9th, exactly 11 days before the new “ottovu” (8V) was introduced at the Torino Motor Show in the spring of 1952 when both companies presented their new models simultaneously.

The 208 CS Berlinetta was an in-house development by Siata using a special oval tube chassis of the famous “Coca-Cola bottle” configuration with impressive lightweight Stabilimenti Farina Berlinetta coachwork in all aluminum. It featured new and very advanced design standards like mechanically retractable headlights and ultra light and low coachwork construction. The Coke bottle shape of oval tubing allowed Siata to place the bucket seats on the alloy floorpan between the chassis tubes enabling a low and beautiful roofline and additional weight savings.

Siata bought the 8V suspension unit at Fiat and installed a Siata-prepared 2 liter all alloy 8V Fiat engine and gearbox. This very nimble Berlinetta of gorgeous and advanced styling had a formidable impact at the Torino show. Captains of industry and presidents of state held their breath admiring this beautiful, lightweight Italian sculpture. Period photos in leading journals like Motor Italia (Primavera 1952) extensively showed the new car, including pictures with Prince Rainier of Monaco, confirming the wide admiration this car generated. In fact, the model being auctioned by Bonhams, chassis #052, was the factory’s very display car at the Torino show.
1952 siata 208 cs berlinetta torino show 300x200 Siata Factory Racer Added to Quail Sale – Bonhams
Since the fabled Mille Miglia race started at the end of the first week of the May motor show, Siata removed the car from the stand shortly before the race started in Brescia. Chassis number 052 SC was one of three Siata factory entries that year (the other Berlinetta’s being 053 and 055) for which some last minute preparation took place, such as the fabrication of two small trapdoors in both front fenders and the installation of a third windscreen wiper on the drivers’ side.

The car started in the Mille Miglia with start number 542 driven by Tullini and Rossi. It is unknown why the car was a DNF. One of the sister cars finished 11th overall, indicating high speed and excellent road behavior – a brilliant first for a 2-liter car in this most challenging and famous road competition.

After the Mille Miglia all three ex-ufficiale Berlinettas were sent back to the factory for small modifications. The side vents were increased in size and the fog and spotlights were removed from the grill as was the third wiper. Furthermore, the lateral petrol tank neck and quick filler cap fitted through the right rear quarter window changed position. The car got a new large capacity petrol tank that was fitted in a more common space behind the rear axle and differential with the quick filler cap placed in the midline below the rear window. The original tank behind the driver seats was removed creating more space inside. All three cars got the same treatment and from 1953 onwards all appeared in this configuration.

Number 052 was in many ways a unique exception. It is the only example with an upward kink of the lateral upper contour of the side window frames, exactly were they join the A-posts of the windshield. It is therefore easy to recognize and is one of the most exciting low roof Berlinetta shapes ever produced. Another unique feature on this Stabilimenti Berlinetta is the telescoping 4-spoke wooden steering wheel. Only the sister car, spider #054, constructed by Bertone, has the same steering wheel construction.

Painstakingly restored to the utmost historical and professional level, this unique piece of Italian automotive art of unsurpassed beauty is ready to be entered in any top historic event in the world, whether Concours or race, even being guaranteed entry at the Mille Miglia as an ex-works car.

Bonhams & Butterfields’ auction of competition and collector cars will take place at Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley, California, on Friday, August 14th.

Owners interested in consigning individual cars or entire collections to this world-renowned auction should contact Bonhams’ North American Motoring Department. E-mails can be sent to usacars@bonhams.com.[/size]
