Where are the Amici dell Automobile Italiana?

It is not an obscure company I am looking for.

Inspired by aircraft. Italian. Not obscure.

Chiribiri ?

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 25, 2013, 09:14:47 AM

Not Chiribiri

Diatto?

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 26, 2013, 04:05:19 PM

Yes, locked for you to find the year and the possible base car.

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: pnegyesi on July 28, 2013, 01:10:21 AM

year should be around 1924. Is it correct?

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 28, 2013, 03:29:00 AM

Some years too late

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: pnegyesi on July 28, 2013, 03:56:40 AM

1920?

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 28, 2013, 07:14:12 AM

Yes. Any ideas about the base chassis? Still locked for you.

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: pnegyesi on July 28, 2013, 07:32:22 AM

Tipo 30?

Title: Re: Wendax 755
Post by: Wendax on July 28, 2013, 08:18:43 AM

You certainly found the ad I took the picture from. But I found another one which connects it to a Diatto model, and it is not the Tipo 30, which was built using a Bugatti licence.

I was going to name the car, but a search reveals it's not been a puzzle before.

It has been and the thread I linked to is it - it dates from a time when we didn't always put the answer in the thread title.

My eyesight is worrying. I didn't even see that link the first time round.
