SOLVED - Geraldo´s #336 - Vampiro Ford Ardun

[sixtee5cuda]

The image is from 1952, showing the Count of Monte Real (Jorge de Melo e Faro) in his specially designed Ford Ardun racing car.  I don't think the translation works well, but the Count won the 1952 Ramps National Championship (hill climb?).

The chassis for this car is from a Ford V8-18.  Formerly driven by Carlos Santos Silva.

Do you need more information?

Any reply for sixtee5cuda, jotage21?

Unfortunately jotage21 is suffering from ill-health.
We're going to have to bear with him and wish him a speedy recovery.

Just my unsolicited opinion, but it seems to me that Thorax solved the puzzle, with some additional info provided by sixtee5cuda.  Maybe the editors might consider helping Jotage out, since he's having health problems.  I know that I've appreciated help (not here, but in other areas) when my heart trouble has rendered me non-functional.  It (the heart) seems to be working fine today, tho and I'll just content myself with that.  Again, my best wishes to Jotage for a speedy and complete recovery.

Point added to Thorax, it´s the Ardun Ford. The only doubt is that in my source book it was indicated as a Portuguese car, nicknamed Vampiro.
