L.I.T.L.A. was founded by Giacomo Griffa early in 1952, when the Torinobased company specialized in handmade bodywork for prototype automobiles, turning out body shells for many of the post-war period’s first and most famous cars: the Lancia B20 with body designed by Ghia, the entire Cisitalia series, and the celebrated Fiat 850 Vignale. But the new needs of a burgeoning market gradually made hand production a thing of the past: ever quick to respond to change, Litla was one of the first companies to produce prototypes using resin dies.
