Title: Solved -PJ699- Cisitalia 202D Spider 2.0
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 02, 2015, 04:05:21 PM: Here you are a speedy puzzle for you.
1 point for the precise Make & Model.
It's not hard but, for the point, the exact model is needed.
I won't lock it for lucky random guesses.

Post by: Paul Jaray on December 03, 2015, 02:03:25 AM: Not a Nash-Healey.

But it is a Cisitalia?
That's the right (and dangerous) question!

Yes, that's a Cisitalia.
There where just 5 exemplars of this model, each one was different from the other.
I'm not asking for the chassis (that I know) but the exact model: there were only 2 with that bodystyle and only 2 with that engine.
This is the only one with that bodystyle AND that engine ;)

BPM 2800?
Very, very close.
What was the model name? The enigne was not the 2.8.
Locked for you now.

Post by: pnegyesi on December 03, 2015, 05:38:59 AM: I should do this more often. I am sitting at the Technisches Museum in Vienna, buried deep in research for my PhD. Occassionally I look at other stuff, mainly AutoPuzzles. The setting must be inspiring as I just earned a lock for a puzzle, where PJ said "no lock :) :)

So you say five, Nino Balestra says four:
"Montano dentro un motore di derivazione marina BPM, (Botta e Puricelli, Milano) che esiste ancora sul Lago di Garda, e
elaborano questo motore che eroga circa 185 cavalli con 2800 di cilindrata, poi faranno anche una versione 2000. In realtà
costruiscono solo quattro vetture: un Coupè 2800, un Coupè 2000, uno Spider 2800 e uno Spider 2000; anche questa è un’
avventura che termina in fretta. "

So I assume this is the Spider 2000 version of the 202.

Post by: Paul Jaray on December 03, 2015, 06:07:59 AM: ..no lock for "lucky random guesses".
Nino is right, 4 versions. I am right too, 5 exemplars ;)
#189,190,191,192 and 193: Resp. a 2.8 coupè, another 2.8 coupè, a 2.0 coupè, a 2.8 spider and this 2.0 Spider!
This was later modified in France as you can see in my pic.

Point for you!

Post by: Paul Jaray on December 03, 2015, 06:21:34 AM: BTW, the precise model name is Cisitalia 202D and I took my info from an article by ...Nino Balestra where he wrote about those 5 cars.
