By the way, Mollino was an italian architect, who also was an excellent skier and racer. He designed fantastic furniture and interiors and made erotic photographs.
He also designed the bisiluro, a catamaran racecar, based on an Nardi and raced it at Le Mans in 1955, but he was pushed from the road by a bigger car.

Coincidentally, i wrote an article about Mollino in a dutch magazine, it will be in the bookstores from next week on.

Curiouser and Curiouser.

It seems this may be the 1953 OSCA MT-4 which Mr. Damonte entered in Le Mans in 1953.  (possibly the Vignale OSCA from 1952?)  I suspect the puzzle car images are actually design studies (paintings) of further modifications of the car.

The attached image and the puzzle car have many similarities.
