John Edgar bought the Le Mans race winner (s/n 0396 AM) and had it shipped out to California. The car was then prepared for the 1954 Carrera Panamericana. Unfortunately, it crashed on the first stage whilst being driven by Jack McAfee and sadly his co-driver, Ford Robinson was killed. The car was badly damaged and was sent back to Italy where it was rebodied by Scaglietti. It was run a few times in its new guise but in 1970 the car that won fame at Le Mans and met with misfortune in Mexico returned to a permanent home in France. Bardinon had the car completely restored by Carrozeria Fantuzzi in Modena.
