The 1927 Hispano-Suiza T49 ‘Weymann’ Sport Saloon by H.J. Mulliner owned by Marco Gastaldi won the ‘Trofeo FIVA’ to the best-preserved pre-war car at the 2017 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.
Patrick Rollet, President of the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA), said: “The ‘Trofeo FIVA’ at Villa d’Este is the latest in FIVA’s on-going series of awards presented to the best-preserved cars at the world’s top historic car events. Not only were we impressed by the beautiful patina of this unmolested and original Hispano-Suiza, but we greatly appreciate owner Marco Gastaldi’s ‘mission’ to share the enjoyment of his car with enthusiasts around the world.”
