- Engine
- 3,178 cc DOHC V8, twin Weber four-choke carburetors, ~223 bhp
- Colour
- Dark green
Pegaso Z-102 chassis 0150 is a Touring Superleggera-bodied Spanish sports car built at the ENASA factory under engineer Wilfredo Ricart and first shown at the 1954 San Remo Concorso d'Eleganza. Delivered new to José María de Caralt y Borrell, the second Conde de Caralt, who campaigned it actively in Spanish motorsport during 1954–1955, the car has remained in Spain throughout its life under just four owners. Exceptional originality is evidenced by an intact period tool set and an unlabelled original spare tyre.
