Puzzle #933 - Solved! Autosud Formula Junior

Paul Jaray · November 16, 2008, 01:57:32 AM

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?

Otto Puzzell · November 16, 2008, 02:44:04 AM

Yes, a bit.

Allemano · November 26, 2008, 08:02:56 AM

Time for a new shot.. ;)
Concerning the rims: has it something to do with Alfa Romeo?

Allan L · November 28, 2008, 04:44:02 AM

Looks a bit like the Degrada Formula Junior

There is a connection, yes.

Allemano · 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

Allemano · November 28, 2008, 07:23:58 AM

Sorry, for two question in one: ;)
100% Italian?
Conrero tuned?

Yes

C'mon, lads - push this one into the winner's circle!

faksta · January 21, 2009, 05:49:04 PM

To small down the numberof possible guesses..is it from 1959?

Otto Puzzell · 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.

faksta · January 22, 2009, 06:36:07 AM

Raineri maybe?

No...

faksta · February 04, 2009, 09:19:14 AM

Let's try Foglietti then... They've had Fiat engines and were produced since 1958 AFAIK.

faksta · 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Withdrawn..I've found a picture of Foglietti, it's different.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?

faksta · February 04, 2009, 04:19:44 PM

Otto, don't torture me - I'm too curious ;D

Otto Puzzell · 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.

Otto Puzzell · March 03, 2009, 05:27:03 AM

Maybe we could play hangman? ;D

A separate gallows for each of us? Or are you planning to hang us all together? :D

Otto Puzzell · March 03, 2009, 07:29:43 AM

The latter.

One letter at a time is how hangman is played.
