Siata introduced the 300BC, built purely for the American market, in 1951. The Barchetta bodywork was designed by Mario Revelli de Beaumont and built by Nuccio Bertone and Rocco Motto. The little sports cars featured either a 750cc Crosley or 1100cc Fiat engine, and due to its great handling, it easily competed with larger-engined Porsches, OSCAs, and MGs.
This barchetta was nicknamed 'Little Old 77' by its first owner, journalist and amateur race driver John Bentley. He raced the car for the 1954 season, starting with the 12 Hours of Sebring and ending with the Mount Washington Hillclimb. The car was then sold to Tony Pompeo, who continued to race it in 1955. Six more owners raced the Siata all over North America throughout the 1960s. Its current owner bought the car in 2011.
