[rosenbergm]

[mekubb]

Well-known Italian make, famous in mainly racing 

[rosenbergm]

maserati

[rosenbergm]

is it a Stanguellini S1100

[mekubb]

Not Maserati but Stanguellini is right. Engine is indeed 1100 cc but from what make ? And I need to know the right year and the coach builder

[rosenbergm]

is the year 1947 and the make is Stanguellini-Fiat and coachbuilder is it bertone

[mekubb]

is the year 1947 and the make is Stanguellini-Fiat and coachbuilder is it bertone

Quite a few years older than 1947 (despite its aerodinamic design !), Stanguellini-Fiat 1100 is right. The coach builder is not Bertone, much more obscure...If you have the year right, I'll lock it for you to find out the coach builder

[rosenbergm]

1938???. Is the coachbuilder torricelli

[mekubb]

Yes Torricelli is the coach builder, well found. You're 2 years out with the right year, should be 1940, but as you have come so far I will award you the point.

ty ty very interesting car cool design considering the year was 1940 

[targhediferro]

I suppose it's correct 1938; the car is described in several sites and book as Stanguellini 1100 sport Nazionale, 1938.  1940 is the year of its best racing score. Its plate was RE-8122

Thanks for your input. According to my source it is 1940 and a Stanguellini-Fiat. But it happens all the time that sources are not always fully reliable, it's impossible to check that on beforehand. So that's why I agreed with 1938 as the right year

[mekubb]

Just checked my source, and it's indeed a 1940 race and a 1938 car. My Italian is not so good apparently
