The booth of the Swiss dealer Lükas Hüni is always one of the attractions of the show as the cars presented are (most of the time) not for sale but coming from private collections never shown anywhere else. This particular Bugatti Type 55 Roadster is considered to be the most original as it is the sole example that remains unrestored.

Editor’s Choice: Sold new to former Italian hillclimb champion Franco Cornaccia of Scuderia Guastala in Milan, this 1951 212 Export Berlinetta by Vignale was entered in that year’s Carrera Panamericana II where Alberto Ascari and Luigi Villoresi won second place overall. Then 0161EL was sold to Santiago Ontanon, owner of Industrias 1-2-3. Driven by Paco Ibarra and Vincent Solar, this handsome little Ferrari Berlinetta finished the 1952 Carrera 7th in class and 24th overall.
