Chassis 165 SC is a Cisitalia 202 SC Coupé with Vignale coachwork, one of approximately 153 coupés produced between 1947 and 1952 from a total run of around 170 cars. Believed delivered new to Argentina, its South American history was partially reconstructed by automotive historian Cristián Bertschi and spans several Buenos Aires owners across the 1960s and 1970s, including club racing use. By 1995 the car had been repatriated to Italy, where it received an ASI Passport. Finished in burgundy with dark red leather, it is accompanied by both FIVA and ASI documentation.
