1952 Pegaso Z102 Lightweight Coupe

This Z-102 is one of three lightweight competition coupes prepared at the Barcelona Pegaso factory for international races. The three cars were entered in the Monaco Grand Prix, run that year for sports cars, and this was the only one of the three to qualify - although the entry was withdrawn before the race. The marque continued to dabble in racing over time, but while it had some success locally, it accomplished little on the international circuit - and the company decided to focus on selling grand turismos to the public.

This car returned to the factory and was made into a road-going GT, then sold to its first owner, Antonio Creus, in 1954. It has had just six owners from new, including Bill Harrah and Nicholas Begovich, and has been apart awaiting restoration for the past several decades. The newly restored car was introduced at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It was also featured on the Tour d'Elegance poster along with a 1953 Touring-bodied Z-102 that is its stablemate in the current caretaker's collection.
