Ferrari 212 F1 1952

Close! but this make may not be called a Ferrari , but you are looking in the right direction

[Paul Jaray]

Hi Oguerrerob!

don't you think a F1 car of 1952, with covered wheels and windscreen like that, with 2 seats and lights would be a bit ..odd?
C'mon, you can't be serious on this, and the knowledge you already showed is a proof.
If you google your answer you'll see what I mean!

  I did not even payed attention to the F1 1952 part. wich is not the right direction.
I  ment the Ferrari part.......although that is not the make of the car

[Oguerrerob]

Ok. You were right!  My mistake I miss the right photo, Sorry. The correct answer is Avio Costruzione 815,  year 1940

Yes! that is the car.

When Enzo Ferrari left the race department of Alfa Romeo in 1939, where he was president, he was not allowed to build any cars under the name Ferrari for a period of four years.

He started the Auto Avio Costruzione company in Modena with the intention to produce tool machines.
Still, he problably could not help himself and by the design of Ing Alberto Massimino was this car built.

Because of the contract with Alfa this car does not carry the name Ferrari but  Auto Avio.

You have earnt your point.

The first point I´ll have to award here, so hopefully this will work

I found a couple of nice info about Auto Avio Costruzioni that I'm sharing on my FB page.
For all of you that are interested, here you are:
1st pic shows what seems to be a flyier for a production model (called Torpedino Tipo Brescia) that is slightly different from the race version.
2nd pic shows Touring's scale model of the Coupe version, never realized.
In addition to these, there's also a drawing showing a different front for a planned Cabriolet version.
