0 Harry Harrison Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 First one is an MGA, second is an XK120 (split screen, narrow grille). Oddly I can't find them using the Alamy code to get a better view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wiskerke Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hmm I thought that would be easy with those numbers. Here is the mille miglia 2019 lista partecipanti. However not so quick: there are no racing numbers, just the names of the drivers. Which is sufficient if you can read those at full size. Still weird: a list with no numbers. Maybe it's somewhere else. The list does include the year of construction though, which is very thoughtful. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can read most of the driver names and most of the cars I can identify. Perhaps you get your number when you turn up. Thanks all, I'll put up any more really hard ones.

0 spacecadet Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) This may be a long shot, but it's an Italian Red Cross van. Probably not a Fiat if that helps. ..........and the red one on the right? Edited June 12, 2019 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ambulance is a 1957 Fiat 1100 according to a couple of microstock sites, which all have the same image of your vehicle. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 spacecadet Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks all. Wim, that's marvellous, you seem to be able to find anything, anywhere, but pix of every entrant is quite something. Now I can identify them I may put up some more. Incidentally the Osca appears to be worth north of €1,000,000. https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa19/paris/lots/r0005-1955-osca-mt4-2ad-1350-by-morelli/729216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a Maserati by another name. I was still looking for an official race numbers list. My guess is that you have to do it in Italian. This one is by a Dutch photographer. His website says there will be Flickr albums, but they're not active yet. Somehow I cannot get the page to be translated into English. Both Chrome and Google Translate. Which is a shame, because the site is huge and a true treasure trove for classic car enthusiasts. They have a magazine in Dutch: AutoFocus. 😉 They really should do an English version. Or at least put it together in a way that Google Translate can access the content. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 spacecadet Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks, Wim, I can read Dutch well enough to get round the site. It'll be my first port of call for classic cars in future, along with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
