wlaidlaw Posted June 14, 2023 Share #19984  Posted June 14, 2023 Because of the colour, I thought it was a 1947 Maserati A6GCS Barchetta Monofaro, the separate wings model. I don't know if bright red paint was expensive or fades badly in the Italian sunshine but quite a few Italian cars of the 1930s and 1940's were painted in a mulberry colour, particularly Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Maserati or maybe it was just fashionable at that time. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrestored survivor along with it´s sister model LM23. Oh, I do like your definition of 'Nailed It', Ronald! I only wish my school teachers had been similarly lenient back in the day..... No; all I did was suggest the name of a manufacturer and that was done more as a stab-in-the-dark than anything else so I couldn't possibly accept the 'win' which, as can be seen by your post, is quite clearly yours! I'm not familiar with old Astons apart from Nick Mason's Le Mans trio (which numbers stop, oddly enough, with LM21!). Looking forward to the 'reveal' photograph(s)! Philip.

Rona!d Posted June 14, 2023 Share #19987  Posted June 14, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) My initial "thoughts" were Aston Martin AND Lagonda. Haven´t posted that. Yours solely "Aston Martin" which is much more precise 😉 LM 22 and 23 were not used as Le Mans works cars because there was some sort of labor strike in France which made the race impossible. LM 21 and prior were 1.5 ltr. while LM 22 and LM 23 were 2 ltrs., sold to customers to refinance the project. Whoever is next, I´m fine with anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 14, 2023 Share #19988  Posted June 14, 2023 While talking about Astons I have a funny story to share. Happened to me in Hamburg (Germany) last weekend. Right around the corner of a friends house whom I was visiting I saw an ancient Aston Martin DB 3 Roadster in dense traffic. The girl (I thought) piloting it looked SO relaxed and started the car after a red traffic signal has turned green without any shifting and steering. HOW COOL that girl drives the old Aston I thought. How good she is looking in it on the (left) drivers seat. When they passed me I recognized a small much older guy on the right seat doing all the work I missed. I think that is called ancient autopilot system or male blindness 😉 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
