Scuderia Etna entrant this car at the Targa Florio 1972, but for sure never was a car builder

[Oguerrerob]

All I've found that it was an "Artigianale" (Hand built). But no further info

Porsche 908-based ?

Sorry, as I stated more than once, there is a manufacturer

Porsche 908-based ?

No

I think it could be Porsche 910 Scuderia Etna Categoria Sport-Classe da 1601 a 2000 cc piloti Angelo Bonaccorsi - Alfio Nicolosi 1972 at Targa Florio Sicilia, Italy

Sorry, GTE4289.

I've found this picture in a Targa Florio specialist page. This car is not even mentioned in the Scuderia Etna page or their Facebook. That's all I have. Please, don't locked it, I have no further answer

FYI: The car has been entered by "Scuderia Etna" (with a wrong designation) for the "Targa Florio 1972". But never ran there. Also not in practice

Found it!

Built by Officine Meccaniche Signorello (OMS) in 1972 on the shortened chassis of Alfio Nicolosi's Porsche Carrera 6 (906). Ennio Bonomelli set up the 2.4 liter engine and modified the brakes.

The same car was driven by Giulio Pucci and Vittorio Maione in the 1974 Targa Florio with modifications to the bodywork to meet regulations:

Both correct. To be found on 'facebook'. A well earned point for you! 

Please don't take it personally, but again, as so often happens, it's hard for me to refute, if a puzzle car can be found three times wrongly designated on the internet.
It strikes me more and more that this site helps more the well-connected Internet professionals to solve a puzzle, which is quite legitimate, than the real carmaniacs, who go to work empirically. This does not correspond to my interests at all, which is why I like to withdraw a little bit. I look forward to all of you, solving as many of my puzzles as soon as possible.

This is not an accusation, just a statement from observation. Please don't let anyone feel offended

Hint: Throw away all your old books and magazines, take your time on the net and collect car-related sites, as many as possible. Even if the information is not a in-depth one, but enough for collecting points
