1953 Siata 208 S Navigation
This Siata was specially built by the factory for Ernie McAfee to race and promote Siata cars. McAfee was so impressed with the car he became an importer for Siata in the United States. This car was also used as a test car for the editors of Road & Track magazine, who were impressed, writing, 'The Italian firm of Siata is a small specialist who make some of the most interesting cars in the world.' McAfee fully tuned the car and participated in the famous Carrera Panamericana with it. The car was used in 14 different races on the West Coast between 1953 and 1956, including the Pebble Beach Sport Car Road Race in 1954. It currently wears its original lightweight Carrera preparation and has many unique features. This historic car can be seen on the cover of the Siata 8V book and is considered by its author to be one of the most important Siatas extant.
