This Siata Daina with its elegant coachwork by Stabilimenti Farina is a rare matching numbers example and sports a full and well-known history. Delivered to Milano, the pretty Berlinetta spent nearly its whole life in Italy. The first owner was Tristano Torelli from Milano, the editor of the comic series “Piccolo Sceriffo” (“little sheriff”). Piccolo Sceriffo and especially its creator became rather famous thanks to a censored edition of the comic depicting a rather too realistically drawn (and thus not totally suitable for its juvenile clientele) murder scene over several pages. in 1951, Torelli sold the car to Como, where until 1956 it remained in the ownership of three more owners, all known. From 1956 to 1983 SL0121 was owned by the Isidoro Favaro family, resident in Loreggia near Padual Venetia. On 17th April 1983, the car, which by now had progressed to a typical barn find, was found and acquired by an enthusiast from Arezzo whose aim it was, to return the car to its original condition. He restored the Siata with great care and decided to start with the coachwork and the interior. Since he was obsessed with using only original parts, which at times proved rather difficult to find, the restoration of the coachwork and interior alone eventually took six years. The following overhaul of the original engine required another five years. No effort was spared to keep the car as original as possible. Even the repaint in light blue metallic matches the original colour which in the early 50s was rather unusual but very fashionable. A photographic documentation as well as receipts for the work are available. In 2014, SL0121, which by the way stands for “scatola lamiera” meaning tin can, was sold to Germany where it was acquired by the last owner in 2017 and imported into Switzerland. Since then, the car has been entered in several rallies and Concours d’Elégance events. Among others, the car was shown in 2014 at the “Jewels of the Parc” at castle Dyck where it won its class, the Raid Suisse-Paris in 2017, class winner at the Salon Privé Concours at Blenheim Palace in 2020 and second in class at the 2020 edition of the Ascona Classic Car Award. After the Siata had been on the waiting list for the famous Mille Miglia rally in 2018, last year it has been officially entered in the “Registro 1000 Miglia”, and is therefore eligible for participation in this prestigious event. Needless to say, that the little Italian has always enjoyed loving care and maintenance. This included an overhaul of the original 5-speed (!) gearbox in 2019 and in 2021 the coachwork including all chromed bits were brought back to concours standards. This is a unique opportunity to acquire an exceedingly rare (only between 50 and 100 Siata Daina were ever built) , and Mille Miglia eligible car with a complete history in outstanding condition. The beautiful coupe will be sold with a FIVA ID, a ASI and ACI car pass, owner’s manual and its complete documented history. The latest Veteran MOT was completed in July 2017
