Pegaso was born in a Spanish truck company. In the early 1950s, Wilfredo Ricart (who had been Alfa Romeo's chief engineer for special projects from 1936 to 1944) was the managing director of a state-owned truck and bus manufacturing concern. He pushed the Pegaso Company in the direction of entering the automobile business. The original Pegaso debuted at the 1951 Paris salon. The cars quickly built a reputation for advanced design and engineering prowess. Some of the features were alloy engine components, dual independent braking systems, torsion bar suspension, and a five-speed transmission.
The Pegaso was very expensive to produce. The Z-102B was followed briefly by the Z-103 in 1955. From 1951 to 1958, fewer than 90 of the Z-102 and the Z-103s were built. They had an original sale price of approximately $17,000, making them a very rare and exclusive vehicle. This particular example is one of only seven Series 2 Z-102B Berlinettas produced with coachwork by Saoutchik, each one is slightly different. It is powered by a dual overhead cam, alloy, 2,814cc V-8 engine backed by a five-speed transaxle. It has a unique and rare intake manifold crowned by four Weber carburetors. The engine compartment side panels and firewall have a machine-turned finish.
This car was originally delivered to Mr. Lamy de Caen of Paris, France in October of 1954. In the early 1960s, it was purchased by Don Rickert of Montgomery, Alabama, while he served in the US Air Force in Spain. When he returned home, he had it shipped to the United States. It eventually ended up as part of the famous Harrah's Auto Collection in 1964. Harrah's undertook a complete restoration, using original parts obtained from the Pegaso factory in Spain. The car was purchased by the Imperial Palace Auto Collection in 1987, where it was displayed until acquired by the Blackhawk Collection in 2002. A second restoration was performed between 2006 and 2008. Upon completion, the car was put on display at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2009. In 2016, it was on display at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
