01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Siata 300 BC Motto: Launched at the 1952 Geneva Salon, the Mario Revelli de Beaumont penned and Bertone built 300BC was very much aimed at US clientele fond of small ‘Made in Italy’ sports cars. The Influential de Beaumont had worked for many of Italy’s finest styling houses, most notably Pininfarina. Siata produced approximately 50 300BC Spyders. Roughly the first 40 cars were built by Bertone, while the last 10 (approximately) were constructed by Turin based Motto. Carrozzeria Motto is well-known for their 166, 195, and 212 Ferrari bodies as well as the Porsche Abarth GTL.
