Changed! Hope this one isn't

Amsterdam · April 03, 2010, 03:23:48 AM

Experts?

Appears to be a Doble E-model. Approximately 1930?

Tackitt · April 05, 2010, 08:41:32 AM

Oops. I believe I am wrong about the model. F-model?

Amsterdam · April 05, 2010, 09:43:55 AM

Sorry to have wasted youre time, but I just found out it is a repost again

Have to do some better research I guess.

Nardi "Twin Boom", Le Mans 1955

"Twin Boom" : Bisiluro

Amsterdam · April 05, 2010, 01:56:40 PM

Sorry pguillem, but D-type was first so I have to lock it for him for 48 hours to come up with the complete answer.
Lucky for him tou have fixed one piece of the puzzle, but I am still missing some in the discription for this car according to my source

D-type · April 05, 2010, 02:44:49 PM

I have seen it described as Bisiluro 955/3. It had a Giannini engine so some tidy-minded people might describe it as a Nardi-Giannini Bisiluro 955/3 which competed at Le Mans in 1955.

I don't speak Italian, but I believe "bisiluro" translates as twin-boom, twin-torpedo or twin-hull in which case it is a description and not a model designation and should not be capitalised.

Amsterdam · April 05, 2010, 03:10:07 PM

That is the complete answer I was looking for.
Well done! point added

D-type · April 05, 2010, 03:11:10 PM

I think that 955/3 is actually the chassis number

Amsterdam · April 05, 2010, 03:15:31 PM

I only know it as it mentioned in my source as a Nardi-Giannini 750 Bisiluro 955/3.
Maby it stands for 1955 chassis No 3. but I am not sure.

For search purposes, we could probably also include the name Bisiluro Damolnar. And it might help to say it was created in 1955 by Carlo Mollino and Enrico Nardi.

I have attached another picture, showing the engine.

Le Mans? Where's the ACO luggage compartment and passenger seat?

Just poking a bit of fun at the ACO.

Ohh...here are a few other images (I didn't shoot 'em so they might be ok.)

Same source I was looking at, Ray.

RayTheRat · June 08, 2012, 02:11:25 PM

Yep. You had the first photo in the series, I added several others.
