2018 feature (with 108 UYH plates): "This was the first example of the second series design and delivered new on November 15 1956 to racer/entrant Tony Parravano. This West Coast construction magnate was well known for fielding a mouth-watering array of exotica in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) events, and for disappearing four days before he was due to appear in federal court to face charges of tax evasion. Chassis 0585 GT was entered for the Palm Springs road races in early April 1957, only to be disqualified because the SCCA refused to recognise it as a production car. Following its owner’s vanishing act, the car remained in Southern California (unlike some Scuderia Parravano racers which surfaced years later in Mexico…). It then changed hands a few times before being bought by Walt Disney Studios for use in 1968 flick, The Love Bug. Once the film was in the can, 0585 GT fell on hard times, passing through various hands before being reputedly abandoned by the roadside near Hollywood in the early 1970s. Fast-forward to 1994 and the car resurfaced and was restored in the UK by DK Engineering, re-emerging at the 1997 Coys International Festival at Silverstone. It was sold in October of that year to American enthusiast Jon Masterson for $925,000. In 2012, it was sold for $6.71m to marque specialist Talacrest, which in turn supplied the car to a Swiss collector. Talacrest took the car back in a deal in 2013 and sold it to a British enthusiast – who then traded the car in as part of a deal involving an aluminium-bodied competition 250SWB – leaving Talacrest to offer it to another British collector a few months ago." |
