The white Italia Nr.058 was purchased in Europe and shipped to the United States by Edward Williams, an Army serviceman who was stationed at Fort Knox in Kentucky. In 1966, Williams sold the car to fellow Fort Knox-based serviceman Laurence Hall, who later gifted the car to his in-laws, Christopher and Audrey Mudge, in Toronto in 1971. After the car sat disassembled for a number of years, Audrey Mudge-Carson sold the car to Ontario resident, Steve McCutcheon in 1997. With the help of Phil Allen, restoration specialist Ian Wraxall of Bowmanville, Ontario, Nr.058 was restored over the course of two years, finishing it in 2001.
