The first owner, Sonio Coletti Perruca, bought the car directly from the factory, with which he participated in 1950 in the Mille Miglia, which, however, he did not complete due to an accident (documentation exists).

Later Perruca participated in other races, won the Tour of Umbria and came first in his category in the Tour of Tuscany.

In the 1970s the car was purchased by our family and participated in the year 1986 in the Mille Miglia Storica and the Dolomites Gold Cup.
