steed Posted March 23, 2011 Share #841 Posted March 23, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) OSCA? I am back from a trip to Europe, and apologize for bailing on the game without posting. Because we were planning to pass through Naples on the way to Pompeii, and I had heard about rampant petty crime there, I decided not to bring a Leica along this trip, and instead found a Canon Model P with a 50mm f1.4 Canon lens to bring along. Well, Pompeii got rained out, but the Canon P was spectacular. Very solid (not quite Leica), and the lens is first rate. This is something of a confession, since I bleed Leica red (dot), but I had to come clean. Out of respect for the fact that this forum is dedicated to the mother brand, I will not post any pix taken with the you know what.

ijporter Posted March 24, 2011 Share #847 Posted March 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I believe it's a Cisitalia 202 SMM Nuvolari Spyder, based on the 202 GT car. Ian Porter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted March 24, 2011 Share #849 Posted March 24, 2011 Gerd - Ian impressed me again. Is this the basis for the car? this is in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Welcome, dear visitor!

gmo Posted March 24, 2011 Share #850 Posted March 24, 2011 Stuart, It is indeed a competition spider version of the GT car in the MoMa in New York. Here are some more pictures taken during the Spa-Italia Festival of 2004. A view 3/4 aft showing the aerodynamic features of this little (1089 cc / 60 Hp) car. It was with this type of car that Nuvolari finished 2nd in the 1947 Mille Miglia after leading the larger part of the race until it started raining. Hence the name "Nuvolari Spyder" Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

ijporter Posted March 24, 2011 Share #852 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm afraid I'll have to pass on posting a photo of the next vehicle (my shots are either non-Leica or too easy to identify). Nevertheless I look forward to seeing what teasers come our way! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkochheiser Posted March 25, 2011 Share #854 Posted March 25, 2011 Okay Luigi, you can't leave me that way! What are the other 3? Surely a Ducati 750/900 bevel drive makes the list? Gerd, great choice of cars, it had me fooled into thinking Nardi. Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkochheiser Posted March 26, 2011 Share #856 Posted March 26, 2011 I've had the BMWs in several configurations over the years and both single and twin Ducatis. A couple you missed that make my list that sadly I've never owned are the AJS 7R and the Manx Norton. Both beautiful to look at and wonderful to hear.

stuny Posted March 31, 2011 Share #858 Posted March 31, 2011 This thread is so much fun I don't want to see it languish, so here's another, and I am scraping the bottom of the barrel with it. I have no idea what its marque is but the winner will identify its city and its purpose. I'm sure somebody will get this today. Welcome, dear visitor!

LuxBob Posted March 31, 2011 Share #859 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Is that Trier? Carry on down the road and there is the Cathedral. Just behind you is an excellent toy shop and to the right on the other side of the road is a shop that sells genuine Roman artefacts and .. I have no idea about the vehicle. And just on the left is a sort of cafe/wein place where, on a sumer's day, there is nothing better than to sit outside with one of their sandwiches and local wines. Now embarrass me and say that this is in Santiago or somewhere. It's refrigerated and electric - I am going to Google this. So, Googled, is it an Alke Electric refrigerated delivery van?
