SVZ #01944 was the first SVZ. It was one of the first SVAlleggeritas ever sold and was destroyed only a few days later in the 1956 Mille Miglia. During the summer of 1956 it was rebodied by Zagato for the Leto di Priolo brothers. Massimo Leto di Priolo raced it first in the 1956 Coppa Intereuropa at Monza on the Formula One weekend, and took a class win (GT1.3). The Leto di Priolo brothers raced it until the end of 1957 and sold it to Giorgio Ubezzi from Torino (father of Alfabb-member mbuezzi). After a few races he repainted the car rosso and went on to Le Mans. From then on there is no information. In 1960 he went again to Le Mans with a SVZ, possibly the same car but with the later 1958 SVZ bodywork and new registration plates. No information since
