This one-off Zagato bodied AC resulted in a conversation between Hubert Patthey, AC's Swiss importer, and Elio Zagato at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, who both agreed it would be an interesting project. The car was sold to John Gretener, Swiss resident who raced it on hill climbs around Lake Geneva. Later sold to Joe Siffert, the car continued to race in various events and historic races including the Mille Miglia.
