1935 Monaco-Trossi GP car.

It never raced but would have made a heck of a noise if it ever did.

The handling was a bit suspect due to the poor weight distribution, but it was clocked at 150mph at Monza


NO - COMPLETELY WRONG..................................................................................................  ::)














oh OK - your right - hoped I would get a bit longer on it.

How did you find it - did you type in Radial Engine car on Mr Google?

So on to the next one - what colour do you require, may have to go down deeper into the cellar, the darker end.




NO - COMPLETELY WRONG..................................................................................................  ::)

I googled Radial engined racing car!!! and i recalled it was at Goodwood a few yaers ago, simple really!

Can I have a brown one for a change.

Why did I think Steve would be the man who would be first man to get this one.

The reason I posted it was Pontiac has been killed off by GM

It is a 1959 Simca Special, designed by Virgil Exner Jr.

It was created as his dream car for his master-thesis at the University of Notre Dame. It is based on a 1950 Fiat Chasis, with some mechanical parts from Simca. The glassfibre body was moulded by Exner himself, at the Dual-Ghia assembly plant.

Later, the car was sold to a Chrysler dealer, and in 1965, the car was bought by Beau Hickory.
Under his hands, the car was converted from a show-car to a daily driver,
adding the panoramic windscreen (coming from an Opel), and the T-Bar-roof. Years later, the car was sold to a friend of Beau Hickory,
he did some additional work on the car, for example, the engine was replaced by a Datsun one.
