The car made its public debut on 26 September 1957 at a press presentation staged in Monaco. Referred to as “well-engineered miniature” by the respected Motor Trend magazine, this car was built for touring. Made from 1958-1961, with very few sold in the U.S. makes this car a very unique piece of automotive history.
