Advertisement Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Hi ramarren, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
gmo Posted March 15, 2016 Share #8462 Posted March 15, 2016 My guess is some (smaler) italian sportscar end of the 40s to early 50s. I seem to remember seeing something similar in a Mille Miglia but can't put my finger on it now. Gerd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted March 15, 2016 Share #8463 Posted March 15, 2016 Close enough, Gerd. It is a Siata Tipo TC 500cc roadster. Quite a pretty little thing! Two snaps with the Leica X: And a nice longer view snap from another website: There's a bit of info about it on this page: http://www.speedcraftspecial.com/wpperfect/posts/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmo Posted March 17, 2016 Share #8464 Posted March 17, 2016 I've seen similar car in a Mille Miglia I think. OK here is the new car to be found and my apologies for the delay because I had to search for a good one. Welcome, dear visitor!

ramarren Posted March 19, 2016 Share #8466 Posted March 19, 2016 1920s-1930s Frazer-Nash is what my gut is saying to me, but I haven't found a picture that confirms it. I've seen several that look similar but the particular shape of the bonnet and fender reinforcement doesn't match anything I've seen yet. Nice car regardless! I'll keep looking...

John Z. Goriup Posted March 19, 2016 Share #8470 Posted March 19, 2016 The twin trailing-arm front suspension is very indicative of Victor Janos' ( aka. Vittorio Jano ) design. That technical detail, combined with the classic, dark red & very traditional 'charro rosso' paint lead me to agree with Stuart, it all just about screams Alfa-Romeo..……… circa 1934/5 vintage, I'd say.

ramarren Posted March 19, 2016 Share #8471 Posted March 19, 2016 I think it's this car for sure: 1936 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900A Botticella Spider of the Scuderia Ferrari http://roadandtrack.tumblr.com/post/7776919347/coolerthanbefore-1936-alfa-romeo-8c-2900a A beautiful car indeed!

wlaidlaw Posted March 19, 2016 Share #8472 Posted March 19, 2016 The correct "Mulberry" colour is a real give away. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmo Posted March 20, 2016 Share #8473 Posted March 20, 2016 Correct Alfa Romeo 8C2900A. This particular one won the 1936 Mille Miglia (with its number 75 as shown) in the hands of Antonio Brivio and Carlo Ongaro. The picture was taken during the technical inspection in Brescia for the 2004 Mille Miglia. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted March 25, 2016 Share #8475 Posted March 25, 2016 #8506 The whitewalls on the Espada look so strange! On the bas Corniche into Monaco from France, you drive past a house that has a modern RR Phantom parked in the driveway. I assume it must be owned by the principality's drug dealer, as it has whitewall super low profile tyres on around 23 inch wheels, all black glass, all the chrome is gold plated and it has wheel spinners on, that keep revolving after the car has stopped - yerchhhh!

wlaidlaw Posted March 25, 2016 Share #8478 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Quite the lovely machine. Hmm. Have to find another car ... I am always surprised that the modern Mille Miglia does not get banned. We did it around 20 years ago in an 8C2600 Monza Alfa and the standards of driving were totally looney. We were not going slowly but there were fellow participants overtaking us at 250KPH or more (mostly Ferraris and Jaguar C & D types) and at lower speeds but round blind corners. I suppose it will continue until someone ploughs into a crowd of spectators, like the Marquis de Portago did on the original. It is also very intensive, so especially if you are driving a very noisy (the Monza has dual open pipes- no silencing at all) old car with a lot of wind buffeting, by the end of three days you will be quite tired and prone to making errors of judgement.

Wilson Possibly a rappers car? Next time you pass by, give him the url of these guys: Graf Weckerle. There is one wheel series which would perfectly fit to the bas Corniche. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
