Wow that's a looker.
because the car doesn't exsist or should I say is still missing. 214 was crashed at Sebring and disappeared after you sold it to the paint bodyshop guy. The car is still missing
Ed, Not sure you understood what I said You owned 0214 correct? You sold it to Ralph Bruett Brouett sold it to a unknown person and the car then ended up on a used car lot six months later in LA Missing ever since......... The crashed Sebring A3C has never been found BTW I found the engine to the car. The engines serial number matches factory documents. I also have some other items but I keep those private to validate the authenticity.
The ISO from le mans but for some reasons, the car is always known as 222 Wich is incorrect, as the car from le mans was bo222, later châssis number was change as ia30222, the reason why some people want the real story to disapear... Image Unavailable, Please Login

Unique story of Iso A3C BO216 When car was in USA, was was known as 286 ! as this title was use for it. Why ? Because a plate was weld on top of chassis number Then a more clever man in USA look deeper and have seen 216 below the plate ( it was a space but you need to lift the car ) But as car look like a 5300 Strada, nobody took notice until a even more clever bought the car and send it to Diomante who remember very well that he modify this car late *60* after car roll over. Restoration was done and documented and finally car restore was sold by RM Retromobile 2015. All this to demonstrate that hard work and knownledge is needed to have success Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

I don't understand your post, sorry. The job was not done by me, but Diomante, then the reward for to him.
We all know Diomante restored it and he did a great job. You wrote in your previous post that the car was renumbered as B0286 - it really was B0283, that's all.
What are you talking about ? I have said that the car was known before as ia30286 because the title of this number was use for it, but the car chassis number was always bo216 under the plate welded. To see it, you need to remove the plate and work a little bit.. Now we all known that nobody in America knew it , this is why a European had the chance to buy it. Anyway, nobody in USA have the knowledge to restore it correctly, then all things finish good.
IA3-0286 has been known since new in the USA the car has less than 20,000 miles now and sits in a private collection that includes Pebble Beach preservation class winning cars in Canada other than a repaint and some maintenance the car is unrestored and very original
Why we need to close this successful thread with more than 300 000 views ? We all learn somethings. Bo216 was always bo216, it was just using a other title. Nothing very special.
It was late, I was tired but it look like, I m not the only one ! BO216 was using title of IA30283, not 286 !!!! Why, because IA30283 was badly crash in the front. At the end, it change nothings, car was always BO216, the only thing was to remove the welded plate on top of it !
