1953 Siata 208 S Spyder

  • Coachwork by Motto
  • Chassis Number: BS 513
Siata, standing for Societa Italiana Auto Trasformazioni Accessori, began as a small Fiat tuning shop, founded in 1926 by amateur race driver Giorgio Ambrosini. Production of Siata's first sports car, the Siata Amica, began in 1948 and continued until 1953 when the company introduced the 208S featuring Fiat's 2.0-liter 8V engine. Only 33 of these handmade Siata 8V spiders designed by Giovanni Michelotti were built by Carrozzeria Motto in Turin.

This car is the only Siata ever to win an SCCA Sports Car Championship. It has an extensive race history, winning 23 trophies from 23 races during the 160, 1961 and 1962 seasons, and being driven at different times by Otto Linton, Douglas Diffenderfer and Don Erlbeck. After 52 years with the Erlback family, the car was acquired by the present owner who has restored it to its original configuration.
