wlaidlaw Posted July 9, 2024 Share #22181  Posted July 9, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) The reviver of Bugatti was a man called Romano Artioli. There were allegations that the whole thing was a financial scam but he did actually manage to make 128 Bugatti 110 cars. I would doubt if the VW group would have decided to re-revive the marque without Artioli's earlier efforts. He did buy Lotus as well but went bankrupt in 1995. The EB110 was a lot better that many other revivals of storied marques and was a technically advanced car. I have sat in an EB110 but did not drive it. The seats were a lot more comfortable than those of the Veyron and Chiron, which I have driven a fair bit and have horrible seats. Open to anyone who wants to post. Wilson 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted July 9, 2024 Share #22189  Posted July 9, 2024 Everyone I know who has had one of those F1 cars, has had one or more accidents in them, usually in the wet. My brother had a very near escape when his F1 swapped ends on him on a wet French autoroute and I persuaded him to sell it. I believe that the centre of mass from that big and heavy DOHC V12 at the back, is sufficiently high that it causes roll oversteer and once the back starts sliding, their is insufficient traction from the lightly loaded front tyres for opposite lock to recover the situation. Exactly the same issue as early Porsche 911 cars and the Ferrari 250 LM. Wilson 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lived in Köln and drove to his office in Frankfurt several days a week. He found that took much too much of his valuable time and after trying several other fast alternatives purchased a Mclaren F1 for the express purpose to commute to work. He used his new F1 for all it was worth and after couple of weeks received an urgent notification from McLaren Service in Woking that the car's on-board data modem was telling them that he exceeded 200 MPH regularly twice a day several times a week, something that surely couldn't possibly in fact be the case, and felt they should promptly service the car to fix the glitch. Completely non-plussed he told them that no, there was no problem whatsoever, the car preformed perfectly, how happy he was with it and that he indeed exceeded 200 mph frequently so as not to waste time driving to work, and tat the only way the car made any sense was to use it under those conditions. The fellow was none other than Thomas Bscher, ex-racing driver & one of Germany's wealthiest citizens and later president of Bugatti. For the next puzzle car let's try the one below.......manufacturer & model, please. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

Love the McLaren F1 story Graham's correct - it is Italian ( but not a Ferrari ) even though it sports GTO-like auxiliary cooling openings in the nose. How about another image, this one with the very familiar manufacturer's badge cloned out & a glimpse of the equally familiar wheels. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

Wilson Yes, definitely Zagato bodied, but I'm unable to reconcile the production number of 98 units from the manufacturer that I think you are referring to with any of the numbers for the various Zagato-bodied cars I am able to confirm through research in what I consider reliable & trustworthy sources. In any event, I'm not sure that either the number 98 or the numbers I came up with are very meaningful, since we are dealing with an all-Italian effort here, well known to be notoriously and consistently inaccurate. There hasn't been a lot of response to this post, meaning that I do not hold out much hope for anyone definitively identifying this thing in the next day or two, therefore may I suggest you simply post in as much detail as possible exactly what you believe this car is. To encourage all to take another stab at it, an additional crop to help narrow things down.......surely this should remove all doubt. Respectfully, JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted July 11, 2024 Share #22198  Posted July 11, 2024 OSCA 1600 GT Zagato. The version with the extra cooling ports like a 250GTO may be a competition version but rather like Caterham cars, most OSCA cars were made so that you could "arrive and drive" at a race track. In his final days of racing, an OSCA was the car that Stirling Moss chose to drive. A friend with an Italian Formula Junior car called an Autosud (usually called the Awful Sod), with a Stanguellini Fiat based engine was at Goodwood Revival and ended up lending Stirling his spare Magneti Marelli distributor when the one on the OSCA had shead a bob weight. He did wonder if he would ever get it back but a week or so later a package arrived at his house containing a brand new MM distributor. Wilson 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted July 11, 2024 Share #22199  Posted July 11, 2024 7 hours ago, Indeepthought said: Alfa ......and there's the correct answer. I doubt we shall receive a more detailed I.D. than that, therefore here is the solution to this 'puzzle car'. In the latter half of the 1950 Alfa-Romeo was contemplating a return to motorsport, not as a factory team effort, rather, as a supplier of GTs to privateer racers. Their first offering towards that goal was the Franco Scaglione / Bertone designed & built 1957 Alfa-Romeo Sprint Speciale. To offer a more sporting, higher performance version of that model, Alfa commissioned Zagato to build a lighter, faster race version which became the Zagato SZ. In '61 Zagato developed a 2nd generation model with a lighter, longer body with a Kamm tail, known as the Alfa-Romeo SZ Coda Tronca, of which ( according to factory records) about 40 units were produced. The last of these were even more aerodyamically refined versions representing the ultimate in Guilietta development featuring lightweight bodywork with a non-traditional grille for better streamlining and penetration, with specially tuned 1300 cc capacity engines intended for competition at the 24 hours of Le Mans - and that's what we're looking at here. This particular car was originally ordered by and owned by Elio Zgato himself and has an enviable record of racing and gathering class & overall victories. This model was later superseded by the Alfa-Romeo TZ. M240-P / 35mm Summilux FLE Your turn, indeepthought. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!
