... there's a problem... one of the two Pegaso was already identified as #21...the light one...
What should I do now?
Where is the problem? I found the car next to Joao's one and next to the ones I found previously, right?

Just to shed some light on it..

According to Spanish sources, chassis #0154, Berlineta Touring ( the light one ) was there. "Vehículo expuesto anteriormente en el Salón de Turín en 4.1954" First owner : Fancisco Godia Sales. Color : blue with blue interior, not a metallic color.

Chassis #0155 : According to the same source : Berlineta ENASA; so ...not a Touring body.
Chassis #0150 : Berlineta Touring, Concorso d´Eleganza San Remo, april 1954. (probably the other car) First owner : José María Caralt. Color : silver with blue interior.
I took it from granted that you ID the dark one. I looked for a light Touring that could be the one next to it. According to a well documented source:
#0150 was in Italy in that period, as Joao wrote. The colour was silver and here's a pic (from 1955).
#0154, the one already ID is not the light one. Here's a pic.
#0155. According to the same source was on display in Turin, but the color doesn't match: "inicialmente de color rojo-blanco, y posteriormente de color beige"

Just forget my post. I don't want to start any quarrel.  :)

Paul Jaray

I can't see the problem... I knew there was already a Pegaso, the dark one (as you can see from Joao's pic)...in my pic there are two: Joao's and a new one. Wendax, you probably forgot Joao's guess but if there were no Pegaso already solved, in my picture you would have seen just one of them  ;D (I would have kept the other for a future point!).
Please tell me if I'm still missing something...(this period it may well be  ^-^...)

Ok... no problem at all.. Paul Jaray has identified the second Pegaso...  :)
In fact the picture where Joao had found the first Pegaso (Reply 78 on page 4) showed the dark car, and not the light one... so I misplaced car #21...
I'll correct the map...   ;)

Now the puzzle is closed for Paul Jaray, who identified the last car...  :)

Previously probably identified, but not mentioned, we have another Lancia Appia between #13 and #51 :

No, this one was not identified before...  ;)
Appia is correct!

Among the 1954 Le Mans entries there was a small, featherweight Nardi sports racer, fitted with a streamlined barchetta body by Motto and a 750cc Crosley engine. This car is reported to have been on display at the Turin show before; although not visible in the picture, it must have been there somewhere, close to the #54 Moretti.

Yes, the car is just beside Moretti #54.

SACO

#285
A Fiat 1100 Berlinetta by Vignale near the #8 Ghia Chrysler ?

Wendax

#286
Next to the Giaur 750 should be a Moretti 750 Alger Le Cap Berlina:

SACO

#287
And a Fiat 1400/1900 coupé spécial by Vignale?

Wendax

#288
And another Moretti 750 Alger Le Cap:

SACO

And perhaps another Fiat 1400/1900 coupé spécial by Vignale ?

Paul Jaray

Hey, shouldn't you wait for Iluvatar's OK before proceeding? I had those Vignale ready too... :'(

Don't worry PJ...

SACO lost one point for guessing a car which is not near to an already identified car... because it's not #8 Ghia Chrysler...
So also the next guesses from SACO cannot be considered...

This is correct...

But as I don't consider SACO's posts you are not allowed to have another guess... so I don't consider this one too...


Note that your guess are not wrong... so you have given a big help to other puzzler... maybe next time you'll wait my reply...

The nice hardtop coupé on the slanted platform in the background – not far from the #25 Peugeot 203 – appears to be a Simca Aronde Grand Large.
