Believe it or not I've picked each of them, but my search wasn't successful so far!.
Certainly lots of cars are still missing on that source.

Okay let's be more politely:
1.Is this car a Formula 3 or a Formula Junior monoposto?
2. Was this shot made on the Targa Florio?
Title: Re: Puzzle #933
Post by: Otto Puzzell on November 15, 2008, 04:01:38 AM
Yes, to one of those questions.
Title: Re: Puzzle #933
Post by: Allemano on November 15, 2008, 04:27:22 AM
Okay, ....only one question per post...  (http://www.mysmilie.de/midi-smileys/frech/1/0009.gif) (http://www.mysmilie.de/)

Since the Targa Florio was a sports car race, and this is not a sports car, I would doubt it.
Lots of Italian circuits were based on normal roads, so an urban background could be seen at a lot of places.

I think I have this car on a book, it should be a Formula Junior, with Fiat (or Lancia engine)...too vague, isn't it?
Title: Re: Puzzle #933
Post by: Otto Puzzell on November 16, 2008, 02:44:04 AM
Yes, a bit.
Title: Re: Puzzle #933

Time for a new shot..  ;)
Concerning the rims: has it something to do with Alfa Romeo?
Title: Re: Puzzle #933
Post by: Allan L on November 28, 2008, 04:44:02 AM
Looks a bit like the Degrada Formula Junior

There is a connection, yes.

Post by: Allemano on November 28, 2008, 05:39:05 AM
Is it equipped with an Alfa Romeo engine? Maybe downsized like the Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000.

Oops, missed that - or forgot, more likely.

Probably not an Alfa engine as it has exhaust and carb on the same side. Most likely pushrod Fiat

To small down the numberof possible guesses..is it from 1959?
Title: Re: Puzzle #933
Post by: Otto Puzzell on January 22, 2009, 04:55:32 AM
A handful of these cars were built in the late 1950's, including 1959. And this picture was taken at an event that took place in 1959.

Let's try Foglietti then... They've had Fiat engines and were produced since 1958 AFAIK.
Title: Re: Puzzle #933
Post by: faksta on February 04, 2009, 09:29:31 AM
Withdrawn..I've found a picture of Foglietti, it's different.
It's rather hard to decide what to put next, as I have around 15 variants... All of them rather well fit into the above conditions...
But I don't know exact production years and numbers built for them.
So, blind guess.. Patriarca?
Title: Re: Puzzle #933

Otto, don't torture me - I'm too curious  ;D
Title: Re: Puzzle #933
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 05, 2009, 03:14:27 AM
Not a Patriarca.

The name of this car was revived some years later by a well known manufacturer, for a family of road-going automobiles.
