It will be my wife's if she wins the auction.

It's not the exact car pictured, but is the same model. The car SHE is bidding on (her, rather than me, for legal reasons) is sky blue and is a 1955 750 normale sprint coupe, S/N 000159 with the 65 horsepower motor; the oldest complete sprint existing, other than the prototype sprint hatchback in the museum. It has the small headlamps and column shift tunnel case trans.

1954 S/N 0017 still exists, but is a rat and the motor is gone, and it was converted to floor shift years ago. The owner is restoring it as close as he can to as built, but it will never have matching serial numbers for the chassis and motor. The car I'm bidding on is exactly as it left the factory, and is somewhere between club concours and Pebble Beach condition, but was never restored. It is totally original!!
