#16 - Bolster Special with 4 JAP engines at Crystal Palace 1939. John Bolster at the wheel.

#6 - Momo 2000 1973
Driven by Giorgio Pianta & Paolo 'Pino' Pica at the Targa Florio in 1973.
It was fitted with an Opel-Conrero engine.

I was at the race in 1973 and remember Pianta driving it very quickly although it retired on lap 5.

Oguerrerob

If I'm not mistaken it's not Brazilian, but indeed related to NSU. Definite facts later!

After I doublechecked the name I have to say that it is not Porsche based. ;)

Yes, though I have it spelled a little different.

#7 looks like na Osca-Maserati. Could it be one?
#8 could be any kind of a Alfa Romeo-based south-american racer?
