You think you know them all?
1 point for each correct ID.
1 point for the bonus car.

Paul Jaray

Be quick, I'll move this to the expert, very soon!

Give at least one evening...
The wide part seems to be based on a Fiat Topolino, so it is my stuff.

Just from my desk, without using any book support and only my memory, I try with #2: is it a Marinella Testadoro by Casa dell'Auto?

als15

#6: a Fiat 1100-based sport made by Antimo Minutolo?

Paul Jaray

Wow, you just picked up one of the hardest ones!
#6 - Minutolo Fiat 1100 Sport  als15
We already had the Testadoro:

but it's not here.

als15

#5
Of course the Testadoro is smaller... This is a sport made in 1949 by Officine Elettromeccaniche Vincenzo Leone in Turin, Fiat 1100 engine and tubular chassis derived by Cisitalia, whose development ing. Leone contributed in the previous years.

How is the rule for the bonus? Can I answer or have to wait until all are cleared?

Paul Jaray

#2 is correct!
I consider it a bonus since I think it will be quite easy.
You can guess it freely.

als15

Ok. So it's the CFM 750, made in Mestre (near Venice) in 1949 using a war-scrap VW Kubelwagen engine with reduced displacement.

Paul Jaray

#2 -           Leone Fiat 1100 Sport        als15
#6 -           Minutolo Fiat 1100 Sport    als15
Bonus-    CFM 750 Sport                      als15

The CFM was not easy, but it is featured in the cover of a well known book, 'La Sport e i suoi Artigiani', that's why it was less obscure.   

als15

And this is indeed the reason why I know it even if it isn't Fiat-based.  ;)

So it seems I've got three more points...

Paul Jaray

You have, but the group puzzles ...get paid...at the end!

Paul Jaray

And don't forget my identification of #1 as a Fortunati Sport 1950!
I was busy editing my post whilst pnegyesi was posting so unfortunately I seem to have missed out on the others!

#20
these cars are racing again!
I have to check the time of your replies (and the edited versions) to understand who found what!
Tell me if I go wrong:
#1 - Fortunati Sport 1950                                    Carnut  (how did you get this!!)
#2 - Leone Fiat 1100 Sport                                   als15
#5 - Nardi-Danese Baby Sport 750                Carnut     
#6 - Minutolo Fiat 1100 Sport                               als15
#9 - Ortolani 750 Sport 1949                        pnegyesi

Gentlemen, you are amazing. Carnut and Pnegyesi found #8 at few seconds (16!) one from the other. I'm sure tha both of them knew it and Pnegyesi (who arrived 2nd) deserves another canche: this car was indeed made by Vendrame on a Fiat-base, but the engine is missing and most important, the person the car is named after!

#7 not a Stanga
#8 Locked for Carnut and Pnegyesi

pnegyesi

Vendrame: Tullio Vendrame who worked in Mareno di Piave (Treviso) Basis is a Fiat 500A bored out to 626 cc

Paul Jaray

Vendrame is correct, but he made the bodywork for the cars prepared by another man. I'm looking for his name.
(One of his cars run the original Mille Miglia in the 50s)

Paul Jaray

OK, I made a quick research and it seems that this one is indeed a car with bodywork by Vendrame and prepared by himself.
I thought it was one of the cars that he dressed for Zanussi, but it's not one of those.
Sorry about that.  :-\

Yes, all I could find out about the Vendrame was that it is a "Vendrame Fiat Sport 650"
