At one point of time it was owned by Swiss racing ace Jo Siffert." - especially if that's a Genoa plate (I can't read it). But its film appearance not noted in histories - eg http://auction.autocherish.com/homes/advert_details/JixTNFktM0RWCmAK/ , Link to "www.barchetta.cc" . imcdb again extending the frontiers of knowledge??
