1956 Pegaso Z-103 Berlinetta Panoramica (Touring)

Our subject vehicle was the 72nd Pegaso of 86 officially built between 1951 and 1956 (another was assembled from spare parts in 1962), and it features Touring's later Panoramica windshield, with Yankee-style reverse-raked A-pillars on the revised Z-103 chassis. This example served as an auto show model, displayed on the Turin and Paris stands in 1956 without an engine. Later that year it received an engine and was loaned to race car driver Romero Requejo while his racing Pegaso was repaired. It was returned to the factory and thoroughly refurbished for sale in 1958 to its first official owner, Florentino de Lecanda Arrarte, who registered it in Bilbao. His name and license plate number, the one still shown on the car, are inscribed on a plate in the engine compartment.
