According to Italian car historian John de Boer, this stunning Siata 300 BC was originally purchased from importer Tony Pompeo in 1955 by Don Black of Oak Park, Michigan, who later became Alfa Romeo USA’s technical director. Mr. Black mostly ran it in Michigan sprints, time trials, and hill climbs, earning five 1st Place finishes. Copies of period racing photos remain on file.
In 1957, the Siata appeared in an in-depth article in Sports Car Illustrated by Karl Ludvigsen and then passed among American enthusiasts. It was sold around 1985 to noted collector Bill Jacobs and then, in 1988, to Tony and Lulu Wang. The Siata was next owned by Ferrari collector Jeffrey Mamorsky of Greenwich, Connecticut, and shown at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance in 2009, where it won Best Italian Sports Car 1946–1956. It was displayed at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, received First in Class at the St. Michaels Concours in 2013, Second in Class at the Amelia Island Concours in 2014, and First in Class at the Pinehurst Concours in 2015.
The Siata is desirably equipped with finned-alloy drum brakes and a tuned 1,100 cc Fiat engine featuring an Abarth induction system and twin Weber carburetors. The consignor purchased it in 2021, had mechanical and electrical work performed, and took it on the legendary Colorado Grand tour. Eligible for the 1000 Miglia, this 300 BC Sport Spider represents a significant and exciting opportunity to acquire a gorgeous, rare, and exotic Italian sports car.
