About 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath ISO name. Five of these 29 cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo on Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring.
