Solved TGF-89: Fiat 1100/103 Tv Monviso, at Rally del Cinema 1955

[targhediferro]

Make, model, year and coachbuilder and what "race" did it take part?

[targhediferro]

Ready for experts.

[richard cuyler]

Is it Princess Grace standing in the Monaco Grand Prix course car?

[targhediferro]

No, she isn't.

[richard cuyler]

But she is standing in a car, right?

[targhediferro]

oh yes, she's standing in a car, but she's not a Princess and not from Montecarlo.

[nicanary]

Is the "race" a bicycle race ?

[targhediferro]

not a bycicle race.

[nicanary]

Any connection with the Rome Olympics 1960 ?

[targhediferro]

No connection, the picture was shot some years before.

[Iluvatar]

Monviso Fiat 1100/103?

[Iluvatar]

The race could be the Rally del Cinema...

[targhediferro]

Monviso Fiat 1100/103?

not 1100/103 and not Monviso.

The race could be the Rally del Cinema...

yes!

[nicanary]

This is Mara Berni and Felice Zappulla taking part in the 1955 Rally del Cinema. The rally was held for 3 years from 1955 to 1957, but according to the caption this was the second running (!). The car is a Fiat 1900, but I cannot find any reference to the coachbuilder.

[targhediferro]

All right, locked for you to dig about the coachbuilder.

[nicanary]

Pininfarina ?

[targhediferro]

not Pininfarina.

[nicanary]

Ghia ?

[targhediferro]

Not the one I have, but I have some doubt about my source; I will accept both the name I have and any other with prove.

[nicanary]

I can't find any source, and I am guessing by the style. I will try once more, and then you can unlock - Allemano?

[targhediferro]

As I said before, I've got some doubt about my source, in particular after Iluvatar's answer, because the front of this car is really similar to Monviso 1100/103 tv. So I've decided to give a point to Iluvatar who discovered the name of the race.  If nobody will give me a proved and more affordable answer, I'll consider the quiz solved by  Iluvatar. I apologize with anyone who has been damaged. Unlocked.

[nicanary]

I agree. The source of my information was the Publifoto site, and since this is not for car enthusiasts I guess the information they provide may not be too accurate.  They state in their caption that the car is a Fiat 1900 but it looks smaller than that, and the style is absolutely right for the 1100 Monviso.

[targhediferro]

  24 hours for any further replay.

[targhediferro]

As I told I'm convinced that Iluvatar replay is more affordable than my source, so I give him the point.
