Title: Re: PJ - 565
Post by: Paul Jaray on November 13, 2013, 04:44:58 AM: That's it!
Not the best expression of the Etceterini style...
Point for you.

Post by: targhediferro on November 13, 2013, 06:48:29 AM: I have some doubts about the fact this car has been restored to its original shape...when it is not a fake (I have found no '50s pictures of this car), I suppose that the man who rebuilt it, felt himself more than free to make it on his own taste. I add another picture.

Post by: Paul Jaray on November 13, 2013, 09:44:55 AM: I should receive some more info soon. ;)
Title: Re: Solved -PJ565- Fiat 1100 Sport Savarese
Post by: Paul Jaray on November 13, 2013, 03:12:06 PM: I've been in contact with the owner of this barchetta and I received some more info.
Antonio Savarese was indeed one of the 'artigiani' active in Sicily and this car was even used in some races.
No doubt the current owner is not trying to give credibility to a fake...he is a real expert of etceterini!
He is writing Savarese's Bio for an italian magazine and in few minutes he told me about some real obscure coachbuilders and some of their cars are still out there!
I'll post more once I'll receive some material he promised me.

Post by: mekubb on November 13, 2013, 04:35:35 PM: Nice story, looking forward to the 'obscure' coach builders
Title: Re: Solved -PJ565- Fiat 1100 Sport Savarese
Post by: Iluvatar on November 13, 2013, 04:42:30 PM: I'd like to see period pictures of the car...
Maybe I'm too skeptical... but I'm not convinced of the historicity of a car until I see a period documentation... :bag:

Post by: targhediferro on November 13, 2013, 05:41:36 PM: I'm waiting for an old picture of this car...with a doubtless foreground. I would be glad to discover it is an original and well restored ugly etceterini.
