The car has been restored to a high level while remaining in original specification. It's driven regularly and shown at local car shows. I also have what I believe is a genuine Pininfarina hard top (quite heavy aluminum? construction. The car is currently in Virginia, USA.
Any further info would be appreciated.

A longshot, but any chance that your car ever lived in the Pittsburgh area? My dad purchased a white Spider from Hoffman in 1956 and sold it in Pittsburgh in 1959 (purchased a new Sprint from Hoffman). Not many '56s out there. I have original photos of my father with the car back in 1956.
