I am looking for colour pics of the Marzal and the Bertone Pirana as they were in the 60s. All my reference stuff is black and white.
That concours pic of the Marzal in white may well be the original colour (would like to know interior colour)
Can you help??
P.


Sure.
Marzal in color pic.

It was a prototype, so there may be just one . . . I had a purple Matchbox.

Bertone Pirana became the Espada . . .

What the hell is that V12 from???? Wild air intake!



It's a 5000GT going really wild . . . I count 8 intake-pipes: it's a souped up v8 . . . I guess from the 5000GT.

This Tipo 33 Stradale is the street version of the Tipo 33 racing car. The engine of the car was ahead of its time, producing 115 hp/liter. Only 18 were ever produced.

1261 lbs, Mid-Engine/RWD, 6-Speed Manual
1995 cc V8, 230 bhp @ 8800 rpm, 148 lb-ft @ 7000 rpm, 0-60 mph: 5.5 sec, 174 mph




I want one!

Starting at 8.oo am in Prescott the rallye will take the teams on winding roads, over hills, through some cities, over some Highways and on some local roads, maybe sunshine, maybe rain or on the mountains even snow until the driver and his co-pilot have covered those 400 miles following their Road Book.

Serenissima had a proper full race 3 litre V8 I think..was probably good for around 350/400bhp. The engine was certainly (unsuccessfully) used in F1.

How about the ATS for another bit of esoteric italian exotica?


"he engine and transmission were designed by Alberto Massimino, the former being a 90deg V8 of 2996cc with around 300bhp, the latter a five-speed unit mounted together with the differential. The first car, a coupe designed by Francesco Salomone and built by Gran Sport of Modena, emerged towards the end of 1964. This underwent tests whilst a second car, this time an open-topped version built by Fantuzzi of Modena, was prepared. This car also had the engine capacity increased to 3495cc, giving around 340bhp. This engine was then later transplanted into the original prototype."
"Alongside these cars the company dabbled with Formula 1 cars, using chassis' from McLaren and Lola and undertook the development of another V8, this time designed by Jaguar and with three valves per cylinder. This engine was used in a new single seat closed-body sports car which was built by Sport Car of Modena in 1969"

"The Tipo 167 engine was developed by Serenissima for use in racing. It was a 90° V8 unit with four camshafts, three valves per cylinder, transistor ignition and dry sump lubrication. The total weight of the engine was 140kg. The total capacity was 2997cc (91.5x57mm) and it had a compression ratio of 12.2:1.
The power output was 380bhp @ 8,000rpm and the maximum torque 34.8 mkg @ 6,800rpm. "

I guess that in the Carrozzeria days those guys lived for design and detail. In mass production 2004 less is more . . . less detail that is.

Peugeot has nice lettering these days. And the ol' Alfa badger does the trick. It has grown and I want a 147 2.0 as a follow up for the fekking Golfer. Just for the badge . . . Most is utter crap that I like to design over. But hey, industry don't care . . . Chrysler has a nice retro metal sticker. US brands are pretty OK but the cars mmmm . . .

Well lets see some more nice metal letters. This is some nice stuff.
