Ivan Goriup Posted February 4, 2023 Share #19185 Posted February 4, 2023 I should gave mentioned this in the above post - on this particular car the side windows were changed by the owner to plexiglas sliding units for weight saving purposes. when he converted the car to a club racer......the rest of the car is quite 'stock'. Any guesses ? JZG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted February 4, 2023 Share #19186 Posted February 4, 2023 Porsche 911, but couldn’t tell you which one. The rear side window would suggest otherwise, but the rear quarter is very 911. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted February 4, 2023 Share #19187 Posted February 4, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) That was my thought too - one of the 911s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted February 4, 2023 Share #19188 Posted February 4, 2023 Sorry, not a Porsche, in fact not even German. From South of the alps, but with a smaller displacement motor, slower, yet more expensive than any road Porsche of the period. The people behind this car, and trust me, they were some of the most prominent & legendary names of the time, had grandious plans for mass production ( in the thousands annually ) but the cost / performance numbers simply killed it after a couple of years. and little more than a hundred or so cars. Another visual clue.....the filler cap is another race-car modification by the owner. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted February 5, 2023 Share #19189 Posted February 5, 2023 I was wondering along the lines of O.S.C.A.? Philip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted February 5, 2023 Share #19190 Posted February 5, 2023 Philip, not an OSCA, but your guess places it squarely in the rcorrect ballpark - correct country, correct time period, similar group of prominent, 'usual suspects' who envisioned & were behind this project........but instead of the Maserati brothers in the case of OSCA, here we have a car originally conceived by some gent named Enzo, designed by Giotto Bizzarini, styled by Giorgetto Giuguaro at Bertone........what a pedigree, and the marque's name is also an acronym of the the firm's name. Another visual clue (the bumpers have been removed on this example)....and hopefully some more guesses. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted February 5, 2023 Share #19193 Posted February 5, 2023 I had no idea of the ASA's pedigree. I look forward to seeing the entire car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted February 5, 2023 Share #19194 Posted February 5, 2023 Mattias has it, it's a 1965 ASA 1000 GT, one of 32 imported into the US. This one has spent its entire life in the stewartship of the same family. When dad, the original purchase / owner passed, the son inherited the car but decided against restoring it, rather, made a club racer out of it and has enjoyed it succesfully ever since. All images - SL / 24-90 V.E. Thanks for participating, over to Mattias. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted February 5, 2023 Share #19197 Posted February 5, 2023 If I recall, the motor press referred to it as the "baby Ferrari." Lovely 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, Mattias, and thanks for posting such an interesting, beautiful and 'New to Me' car Ivan!* Having just read through the wiki entry I must say that I was impressed by the 91hp / 1000cc statistic! Wonderful to hear that the Family is not only looking after such a special car but are active in the racing side of things. Good Stuff and I'm sure "Il Commendatore" would have approved!
