Spyder-before-restoration

For more than 30 years, this fantastic one-off was owned by eccentric Los Angeles-based sculptor and collector Baron Margo, long-time aficionado of alloy-bodied cars.According to the Baron, the Spyder was originally built to participate in the Mexican "Carrera Panamericana" road race of 1955, however, the event was abruptly cancelled after the tragic Le Mans accident. Instead, the car was street-driven for a few years and finally parked in a Hollywood garage, where the Baron discovered it sometime during the mid-1970s.
