This beautifull Osella PA6 was manufactured in 1974 and began it´s life as a yellow PA2. The car was deliverd new to Jorge de Bagration, a prince of Georgia and claimant of the throne. Bagration raced the Osella successfully from 1974 to 1975 including a 1st place at the Spanish SCC Jarama in may 1975. Afterwards the car was converted to a PA3 #021 in mid 1975. After an engine failure in Pergusa 1975 the car was re-engined with a 2 liter BMW M17/7 engine.

In July of 1975 the osella was sold to a Mr. Giovanni Anzeloni The new owner converted the Osella to a PA4 and gave the car it‘s distinctive „Le Vagabond“ livery which it still bears today. Anzeloni has had many successes in the Osella, with many 1st and some 2nd and 3rd places. The Osella has an extensive race history with hill-climbs but also ItalianChampionship and even World Championship races including the Targa Florio in 1975. After many sucessful races Anzeloni decided to sell the Osella to Pier Ugo Prati, who converted it into a 1600 ccm. Prati converted the Osella also into PA6. It was renumbered to #010. Afterwards Prati Sold it to Mr. Jean Blaton. Blaton was a Belgian car racer, entrepreneur and jazz musician who raced under the pseudonym Beurlys because he didn't want his business partners to know about the expensive cars he was racing. Blaton owned the car for a very long time.

In 2015 Dr. Wolf Zweifler, a collector from Germany, who has been ac-tively racing for decades became the last and current owner of the PA6. Dr. Zweifler has campaigned the car actively since 2016 in Peter Auto's CER2 race series (up to and including 2019) while also having done Le Mans Classic in 2016.
