Is it a Bristol - somthingorother?
Obviously english body, Looks like V8, so similar concept to the AC Cobra, but Bristol is all that comes to mind...

[AussieAV]

looks a lot like the late 50s Ferrari 250 testa rossa, just not as refined.

Not English, but definately V8. Only two built, one 6 litre, one 6.95 litre.

You are onto something there - built by a main stream manufacturer in their market utilising various components from a myriad of production models - not Italian, early sixties, long regarded as the most successful racing cars in their home country.

In action in the sixties;

Time for some more clues;

One was road registered briefly


Logo of the manufacturer


Both production vehicles survive to this day and are housed in this location

Bingo - was a touch obscure wasn't it?

[aussiblue]

Extremely obscure; nice riddle.

[aussiblue]

Not common but not as obscure.

[aussiblue]

And the company that made it made enough cars of varying types to have its own museum collection or should I say "museo" (clue there)..

[aussiblue]

And here's a shot inside the museo:

Is it a Ferrari? I kept telling myself it wasn't, now not so sure..

EDIT: Wouldn't have been known as a Scuderia Sud Americana?

[Cam]

Pretty Sure I am wrong, off to bed anyway... ciao

[aussiblue]

Not Ferrari.

[aussiblue]

But not far away from Ferrari and the company is still in business (albeit no longer making sports racers) and has a website.

[AussieAV]

1957 Fiat Stanguellini 1200 Spider?

[aussiblue]

Correct; over to you again.

[aussiblue]

See http://www.stanguellini.it/ the sound bite on the opening screen is great.

Famous maker of junior class race case mainly based on Fiat bits and the family is still a major Fiat dealer.

Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobili_Stanguellini and
http://www.museodelcoche.com/tag/stanguellini/

[AussieAV]

Ok, these cars are getting far too pretty, try this,

Mate, I've only known a couple straight off, and even then got beaten to the punch.

The ones I have guessed are the result of boredom and a rapidly increasing ability to refine google searches.
