01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Siata Daina Gran Sport Cabriolet, introduced at Geneva in 1952, featured steel coachwork by Stabilimenti Farina with an aluminum hood. However, when Stabilimenti Farina closed its doors the following year production of the coupe, convertible, and Gran Sport ceased. Production of the Daina was then handed over to Bertone, who built their own version of the coupe, called the Sport. Regardless, the lightweight and agile handling of the Dainas made both versions attractive for competition in both Europe and the United States. No more than 50 were built-perhaps as few as 30.
