    This Vignale coupe body comes from 0238/A, a 340 America which has now a replica Vignale spyder body...

    Yes, this is the real car with the replica spyder body.

    I don't know which frame is used under the original Vignale coupe body...

    The original car in Modena January 1953 with Severt Sundberg and Hans Tanner in the car. Copyright unknown. The car seems like floating right front in this photo? Probably photoshopped somehow.

    In the first pic, it looks like a young Hans in the passenger seat. Albergo Reale (Real Hotel), Modena.
