Dear Members,
Saw this OSCA Formula Junior at Silverstone last Saturday. I spoke to the driver
who said it was one of only four he thought were still running. It looked in lovely
condition and sounded beautiful, hope you like the photos.
Regards,
Peter. |

| Museo Dell'Automobile "BONFANTI-VIMAR" - 5th May to 21st October 2007 |

On a recent visit to Italy, I was fortunate enough to find time to visit the Museo Dell'Automobile "BONFANTI-VIMAR" at Romano d'Ezzelino, near Bassano del Grappa in the province of Vicenza.
The exhibition entitled "MASERATI - 1957-2007 - 50 ANNI DAL MONDIALE DI F.1" features a magnificent collection of Maserati race cars, engines and related automobilia from the original Tipo 26 engine, #001, to the fabulous MC12 of today.
The present exhibition started back on May the 5th and ends on the 21st October 2007, and if you get the chance to visit it, you really should!
 One of many Maserati race cars on display is the magnificent Tipo V5 re-creation of Sig Igor Zanisi. A truly remarkable piece of workmanship! A brass plaque on the side of the car bears this inscription; "This car reproduces the Maserati V5 that raced at Tripoli in 1934, driven by Piero Taruffi, and was destroyed in an accident. Dedicated to the Maserati Brothers in 1999.
Igor Zanisi, Gianni Torelli, Ermanno Cozza and Alberto Procovio."
Full details of this and forthcoming exhibitions can be found on the Museo Dell'Automobile "BONFANTI-VIMAR" web site at www.museobonfanti.veneto.it.
Unfortunately at the time of my visit, the MC12, the Tipo 26B, the 1955 A6GCS Berlinetta by Pinin Farina, the Ligier Maserati JS2, the 1954 A6G-2000 Coupe by Zagato, the 1954 Maserati 250F and the 1963 Tipo 63 'Birdcage' had been rermoved, but were replaced by some suitably delicious machinery!
Roger Harrison and I will be travelling to Italy in October to attend the 4th Marco Turci Meeting (Mantova/Modena/Fiorano/Mirandola), and we plan to visit the museum during our stay. With a bit of luck some of the missing cars may have been returned by then, let's hope so!!
I would like to thank Sign. Rosanna and the Museo 'Bonfanti-Vimar' for their courteous hospitality, and for allowing me access to photograph these magnificent machines. |
