Hello,

Can you help  me ?
My father took this picture : 24 hours of Spa 1949 ?

Thanks,

Olivier

I have resized the image in an attempt to read the race number, to no avail. If it is indeed the 1949 Spa race, then it could be a rebodied pre-war Fiat 508C Balilla - it looks a lot like an early Gordini or DB but streamlining in those days resulted in cars which all looked similar.
