Is it the Cisitalia 750 from 1961 ?

Quiller · « **Reply #3 on:** October 09, 2009, 06:53:49 PM »

Mechanical bits from Fiat?

Quiller · « **Reply #13 on:** October 21, 2009, 03:18:47 PM »

The engine is one of the most interesting things about this car .....

guido66 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2009, 04:31:45 PM »

Motorcycle engined?

Quiller · « **Reply #15 on:** October 22, 2009, 09:29:28 AM »

The info I have is not very specific about the make of engine; however, it's possible to make an eductaed guess. In any case, it's the format of the engine which is unusual

guido66 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 22, 2009, 11:12:55 AM »

If it's bigger than normal and in the rear, it almost would have to be a boxer. Perhaps a 6 cylinder?

Quiller · « **Reply #17 on:** October 22, 2009, 03:14:48 PM »

Boxer = yes

But not six cylinders ...

Attention! Professionals!

Steyr Puch Project S with Vignale body and four cyl. boxer in the rear. Actually they took two 2cyl boxers assembled to one engine.

Quiller · « **Reply #20 on:** November 03, 2009, 07:06:26 AM »

Correct! Built for Max Hoffmann. I can't find any definitive answer for this, but I presume that the two-cylinder engines joined together to make a 'four' were Fiat 500...
Another pic:

Thanks, as I couldn't find a recent pic!
Do you have a rear view as well?

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #22 on:** December 02, 2009, 09:38:24 AM »

Does anyone maybe know where the colour photo was taken?

Fiat 500 had a 2 cylinder in line engine. But the Austrian Steyr-Puch 500/650/700 version had its own two-cylinder boxer by Puch.

DynaMike - I agree it's probably the Steyr twin doubled up.
As for where the pic was taken, I have no idea. How many transport museums are there in Austria?
