Corrado Lopresto is a major fan of and advocate for Mario Revelli de Beaumont, and has a number of cars designed by him.

Lopresto's focus in his collecting, as some of you will know, is one-offs, chassis #1, and unrestored cars where possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if he bought this lovely car.

Lesser known fact about CL. He has never sold a car (or so he told me).
'37 Aprilia
'50 B10
'53 B20
'68 Flavia Vignale
'55 Giulietta Sprint
S1 Land Rover

No doubt an interesting car but I must say, like many of the coachbuilt Augusta saloons, it is to me way inferior to the standard Augusta saloon in elegance.

I agree Mike, I think the same about many of the Aprilia special bodies.
