What is this?
2 points for you!

An early Gordini?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #2 on:** November 21, 2015, 05:24:27 PM »

Not a Gordini.

Because you are warding 2 points I assume it's a very obscure make or a home-built ? I try a French car

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #4 on:** November 22, 2015, 03:40:58 AM »

Not French.

It appears to be an "offset" monoplace, and could be based on an earlier car than the bodywork suggests.

British base?

It is pretty obscure indeed but not impossible for a reason. Unfortunately my souce only reports an approximate year and it's builder.

Not German.

So........Italian?

Fiat-engined?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #14 on:** November 22, 2015, 09:42:26 AM »

Not reported, but I doubt it for a precise reason.

,,,,,,,,because it's called a XXX Lancia special?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #16 on:** November 22, 2015, 10:41:54 AM »

Nope, but a similar reason.

nicanary · « **Reply #17 on:** November 22, 2015, 10:56:30 AM »

It may be an Italian car, but is the engine also Italian?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #18 on:** November 22, 2015, 11:21:38 AM »

I suppose it is.

nicanary · « **Reply #19 on:** November 29, 2015, 05:48:08 AM »

Is this car dated before 1940?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #20 on:** November 29, 2015, 06:54:30 AM »

There is not a precise date but it is supposed to be from '39.

nicanary · « **Reply #21 on:** November 29, 2015, 07:25:29 AM »

I've found a really obscure car in my reference books - so obscure I've never heard of it, and can find no photos.

In the 1939 Coppa Ciano there was an entry of a Rocca by someone named as "Ventidue". Any chance this is that car?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #22 on:** November 29, 2015, 04:26:00 PM »

Not Rocca. Ventidue is literally 'twenty-two'. I have no record of this car in any race.

2 points, but not because it's impossible.
I'll ask for an additional info once the maker will be revealed.
With the right question, it will be solved pretty soon

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #24 on:** December 19, 2015, 02:07:52 PM »

Not an obscure name but you won't find it in any book about cars.
