Not from NZ.

Mexico ? Assuming that that's not North or South America...

Paul Jaray · November 13, 2013, 05:41:10 AM

Not Mexico.

mekubb · November 13, 2013, 11:12:53 AM

Europe ?

Paul Jaray · November 13, 2013, 01:24:55 PM

Not from Europe.

From a Portuguese African colony - ie Angola or Mozambique ?

Paul Jaray · November 13, 2013, 03:15:25 PM

Yes!

WayneB · November 13, 2013, 04:11:43 PM

Must admit I would never have guessed Angola.

The photo was taken at the 1965 Angola Grand Prix and the car is a Porsche Spyder 2L prototype driven by Antonio Peixinho.

Locked for you.
What's the name behind this special?

WayneB · November 13, 2013, 04:39:15 PM

From what I can gather its called a Protopipo (prototype?) Pierre de Sibenthal and it was built on a 356 Carrera chassis.

Also the word Recarrozado is mentioned (the write up is in Spanish or Portugese and the google translation is having a tough time with it).

Paul Jaray · November 13, 2013, 04:49:03 PM

Pierre de Sibenthal was the name I was looking for!
1 point for you!

I refer you to puzzle SAC#537 in August 2013. It's a Cegga-Porsche, probably a rebodied Porsche 904, and I'm guessing was commissioned by Pierre de Siebenthal (who was a wealthy amateur driver) from the Gachnang brothers.

The Angolan racing body at that time used to pay good starting money to encourage entries from Europe, and their Grand Prix was run to sports/GT regulations. The circuit was in Luanda.

norberthanke · January 28, 2018, 11:08:21 AM

Monteverdi! Although the Monteverdi-story has been fully documented, as far as I know...
Norbert

SACO · January 29, 2018, 02:22:31 AM

FrontMan · February 01, 2018, 04:19:56 AM

Drogo Alfa type 33?

knewit · February 01, 2018, 06:41:55 AM

a Suisse car called "Drogo-RSK" driven by Pierre Siebenthal in mountainclimbs and at the 1965 Nürburgring 1000KM together with Cuenod, They did not finish. A Porsche Spyder with Drogo body. Sometimes the car is called Cegga-Porsche but that's not correct.
