http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1131491320.jpg Kind of looks like a older version of this car.. hmm.. at least this is the new car inspiration came from in design, i would think. |
Tcar - well its Italy - and the clue is Modena and its not a Ferrari.

Early 50's Mazzer?
Looks similar to an A6 Maserati... Pinin-esque curves, but that grill just doesn't look like any A6 I've seen... |
A name from the history of Italian racing with famous friends.

Modena, Italy - Yes, this is a motor--and motor racing--town, home of Ferrari and Maserati, a place where *********** made its own racing cars for decades and where a great many other hallowed and/or forgotten names have been attached to extraordinary automobiles. The lavish, round, failed Bugatti factory is just up the road in Campogalliano, and the Lamborghini works is not far away, either.

1966 Stanguellini!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Yes yes yes! but not so sure about the year.
http://www.stanguellini.it/ I saw it in Florence where it was accompanied by some old Fiats - I had never heard of the make. Although I couldnt find this exact model on their web site - the 1950 style 1100 cc sports cars are very similar - one web site said Bertone was involved with design as well as Scaglietti. "Vittorio Stanguellini, a FIAT dealer in Modena, began racing before the war in 1100 cc Ballilas and following the end of the hostilities in 1946 he started to manufacture his own cars based on FIAT parts. Stanguellini also developed his own engines and his 750cc and 1100cc sports car won numerous races in Italian national championships. Following the introduction of F Junior in 1958 Stanguellini built a batch of cars which were immediately successful winning the Italian Championship in 1958. In 1959 Stanguellini dominated the new International Championship with Swiss driver Michel May taking title and newcomers (and future GP winners) Wolfgang von Trips and Lorenzo Bandini taking wins in their "Stangs". The Stanguellini-built cars always had an excellent reputation for the quality of their cars and although they were eclipsed by the arrival of the F Junior Cooper they continued to build cars for several years. "The first completely new engine developed by Stanguellini, the 750 twin-cam, emerged in 1950. This was fitted to the 750 Sport Bialbero (or twin-cam) with a body designed by Reggiani (although one was built with a body by Scaglietti) and was immediately successful. Numerous national titles absolute and class victories were claimed by Stanguellini in the mid-1950's using this engine, both in the 750 Sport Bialbero and also in the single-seater earlier developed with the 1500 engine. Cars were also entered in Le Mans and other such races, a noteworthy victory being taken in the 1957 Sebring 12 hour race. " |

Near enough! '48 Buick Eight.
Well spotted - how about another? |
Grandfather had one just like it. Straight 8 the size of a house. Radio antenna had a knob inside and you could rotate the antenna straight down (for low garages?).
His smelled like cuban cigars inside. |

The silver car in the background looks like the Porsche Abarth Carrera that I posted earlier, so the "mystery" car German?

Rover BRM Turbine 1963 Le Mans???
|
|
Quote:
It ran at LeMans in '63 only with the number 00, as no official class could be agreed to within the ACO for a turbine engined car. After the rest of the field had left via the traditional start with drivers running to their cars angled at the side of the track, the Rover BRM Turbine "00" was flagged off seperately . Graham Hill and Richie Ginther covered 2582.96 miles at an average of 107.84 mph. They would have finished 8th overall, had the petulant Froggies let them be classified. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1131603191.jpg The #27 Porsche is the (by then) ancient 718 Coupe of Jo Bonnier and Tony Maggs.

Corvair

no
4 cyl. not 6cyl. |
Imp or Stilleto- 875cc made by Rootes Group in UK, rear engine, sideways - lots of aluminium, block and head. Overhead cam.
Head-on, the Imp looks like a miniature early series Corvair. The resemblance is more than coincidental. While Rootes stylists were borrowing contours from the Corvair body, Rootes engineers were test-driving Corvairs, looking for technical solutions to rear engine design problems. Unlike their counterparts in the styling department, the engineers didn't copy the Corvair so readily. After crashing one 'Vair rather severely at the test track, Rootes rejected swing axles and adopted a fully articulated multi-link rear suspension for the Imp. And, to minimize rearward weight bias, the Rootes engineering staff insisted on a lightweight all-aluminum engine. And what an engine it was! For the basic layout, Rootes engineers called upon Coventry Climax, one of the most renowned engine designers in the world. Coventry Climax engines powered some of that period's most successful Formula 1 cars, including the Lotus 18 and the Cooper T51. Coventry Climax was eager to capitalize on its racing success and sold Rootes the production rights to a state of the art overhead cam 750 cc four cylinder engine. Rootes proceeded to modify the design to make it suitable for the Imp by opening it up to 875 cc, laying it over on a 45 degree angle, increasing the compression ratio to 10:1, and die-casting the block and head in aluminum. |
I shoulda known that was too easy!
