Events

Motor shows, concours, launches and races. Pegaso was built to prove a point, and this is where the point got made: Paris, Geneva, Barcelona, Jabbeke.

Moments when a Spanish truck manufacturer stood next to Ferrari and Mercedes without asking anyone’s permission.

Celso Fernández on the day he broke the world speed record at Jabbeke Ostende (Belgium) on September 25th, 1953. The feat was supposed to be achieved with the Bisiluro, but an electrode in one of the spark plugs broke and fell into the cylinder, destroying it completely. Celso still broke the speed record using the Touring barchetta they had with them (chassis 0142). (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)

Joaquín Palacio drives the Spider Touring Competición (chassis number 0102*150*0142) in the Gran Premio Sport Peña Rhin, October 23rd, 1954. This race was used to prep the car for the Panamerican race. The car’s compressor failed during the fifth lap due to problems with the clutch. (Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
1954 Barcelona Trade Fair: visible in the photo, behind the engine/gearbox assembly (which features cutaway casings to reveal the internal components) is the Pegaso Monocasco II; it is believed that only this single unit was built, and it was unveiled at that fair.

Paris Motorshow, 1954. (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
June 6, 1954: The Rabassada Hillclimb. Julio Reh drifting through a corner in the Spider Touring Competición (chassis 0102*150*0142), the very same car that would meet its end in Mexico later that year during the Carrera Panamericana. Rumor has it that Wifredo Jr., Celso and the gang once decided to drive the entire Rabassada road in reverse… just because. (identified thanks to Roberto López Alcolea, alias @pegasin_z102)
