Six cars were built
on the A6GCS/53 frame and shared the same mechanical specifications.
Four were coupes by Pininfarina and two were spyders one by Vignale and
one by Frua. These cars were substantially more powerful and
different in specification to the A6G 2000 (twin-cam) vehicles that were
produced in the same time period. The four Pininfarina coupes each
have an interesting history as do the two spyders. The Vignale spyder (#2049)
was subsequently re-bodied by Scaglietti and the Frua spyder is now on a
Triumph frame with a Triumph engine - the fate of the original engine is
unknown. Details are provided in the Race
Car Gallery.
