Cars

The Z-102 and its siblings, photographed when they were still news rather than legend. Bodies by Touring and Saoutchik, bare chassis, prototypes that never reached production, and cars that are scattered across half the world today.

Some of these are still running. Others exist only here.

Spider Touring “Tibidabo” on the patio of the Barcelona factory, most likely after arriving from Milan. This is the first Pegaso car ever with bodywork by Touring Superleggera. The car is said to be inspired by the Spanish art of bullfighting, likening the Tibidabo to a bull: the two hood intakes are said to simulate the bull's nostrils, the shape of the windshield evokes the bull's head, and the two glass points resemble its horns.

Pegaso Z-102 Cúpula 2, probably the first time it ever saw the light of day. (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
Another picture taken on the day that the speed record was broken. It’s very likely that this photograph was taken from the Pegaso Bacalao truck, judging from the partial column seen on the left side of the photograph. (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
Pegaso Bisiluro, picture taken while on the trip to Belgium to break the speed record. This photograph also appeared in a french news article. (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
Joaquin Palacio in the “Vue des Alpes” race in Switzerland, on the Neuchâtel road, July 12th, 1953. Palacio finished second in the Sport category, behind a Ferrari. Chassis number 0102*153*0127/0155. (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
In May 1953, the Spider ENASA Rabassada and the Bisiluro are taken to the Monthléry autodrome for testing. In this image, the Rabassada is photographed right in front of the stands as it drives by. (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
