CG #8 - 1922 SPA Tipo 24 with coachwork by Farina

[Craig Gillingham]

For 1 point, name the make, model, year and coachbuilder of this car.

[Craig Gillingham]

Up to Expert level. An easy point for someone.

[bentleybob]

SPA?

[Craig Gillingham]

Yes, LOCKED for you to come up with the rest of the details.

[bentleybob]

1924 SPA 24S 30/40 hp Open Tourer supplied in Brisbane, Australia, and sold to an Italian collector circa 2003, with just 11,000 miles since new?

[Craig Gillingham]

Yes, that's the car. I've got the year as 1922, but I've also seen it listed as 1924. What about the coachbuilder?

[richard cuyler]

....and some 2012 cars with their trendy matt paint jobs and their owners thinking it's something new, eh? 

[bentleybob]

Is the coachbuilder Australian? Martin & King?

[Craig Gillingham]

No sorry, not Australian. Still LOCKED for you.

[bentleybob]

English?

[Craig Gillingham]

Nope.

[bentleybob]

So, Italian? Cesare Sala?

[Craig Gillingham]

Yes, and no, Italian body, but not Cesare Sala. Still LOCKED for you, as you're close to solving this one.

[bentleybob]

Castagna?

[Craig Gillingham]

No, but just as well known.

[bentleybob]

Stabilimenti Farina?

[Craig Gillingham]

Yes correct. Another point for you.
