SIATA Prewar SIATA Sport Corsa 750 (Information collected and presented by John de Boer … Any news welcomed at: [email protected]) “Sport Corsa” refers to the nature of racing categories in Italy during the late 1940’s into the 1950’s. Many cars were built to compete in more than one form of racing. “Sport” category cars, sometimes divided into “Sport Nazionale” and “Sport Internazionale” with slightly different rules, had specific requirements that required road equipment that made the cars legal for use on the open road. There were also “Corsa” category racing events that allowed the removal of fenders and lights as well as the use of better fuels. Better fuels could also be used for some “Sport Internazionale” events. SIATA -- Tipo SC (also known as “TC”) 1947-50 During 1947 S.I.A.T.A. started building a small series of sports racing cars which were numbered "SC" (“Sport Corsa”) by SIATA. This was the first “series” of cars to carry actual SIATA chassis numbers. Most of the previous “Siata” cars used either pre-existing chassis (mostly Fiat) numbers or, in a few cases, a ‘Numero d’ufficio” assigned by an authorized motoring authority. Some cars were built 1947 and 1948 on Fiat chassis but the tubular chassis cars were those that were numbered by SIATA,. It may be of interest to know that in 1947, the name S.I.A.T.A. stood for “Societa Italiana Applicazioni Techniche Auto-Aviatorie”. During 1949 the acronym remained but was altered to “Societa Italiana Auto Trasformazioni Accessori”. This means that many of these “SC” cars were built under the first name and that most of the Amica, Daina, 300BC and later cars, were built under the latter name. The primary engine used in these cars is derived from FIAT 500 which originally appeared 1936 as a side-valve engine. Beginning 1936, SIATA built and marketed an overhead valve conversion kit for the Fiat 500. As with earlier conversions they devised for the Fiat 514, Fiat 508 and others, the cylinder head was called “Supertesta”.Various versions were made. In 1948, Fiat followed SIATA’s lead and did their own OHV engine design for the 500B, which soon became the 500C. Fiat 500B engines used in the Fiat 500C had some changes from the earlier 500B engines, the most notable being the use of aluminum for the cylinder head casting. Siata continued to sell and install ohv kits for the earlier Fiat engines and the new 500B engine required a new design. SIATA built specialized ohv heads for those engines as well, claiming increased performance and no loss of economy. These were called Tipo “B” and were made available in two basic forms, “Turismo” and “Sport”. The “Sport” version raised the compression ratio significantly, had enlarged porting and had enlarged valves. Siata advertised that it would allow a doubling of the horsepower available from the earlier side-valve engine. In fact, even more power was available if one was willing to make major changes to the bottom end of the engine and use better fuels. Please note that these cars were sometimes called “TC” in print references. This seems to have been intended to promote a new engine from Siata that was rarely used.

    SIATA Daina “Gran Sport” SL*0203* Stabilimenti Farina #9683 (historical compilation and presentation by John de Boer) Perhaps the first “Gran Sport”? ** August, 1951 Purchased by Hector S. Scheffer (Illinois), evidently with the idea of becoming a dealer/agent. His advertisement translated the model name to “Grand Sports Roadster” The designation from SIATA would have been “spider Gran Sport”. This advertisement appeared on the rear cover of the Elkhart Lake race program for August 26, 1951 Hector Scheffer was also responsible for printing the race program. The car appeared at Elkhart and was photographed in color. Photo courtesy of Yellowstone SCCA Scheffer also entered and raced at Watkins Glen in September Tony Pompeo entered the car in October at the Convair Trophy Races at Allentown, Pennsylvania I don’t know if he raced it himself. This may be Scheffer at the wheel once again? The image I have that shows the same car is not one I feel can be published without permission not yet received. Unlike many later Gran Sport examples, this car used standard Fiat 1400 wheels with 14-inch Pirelli tires. There was another Gran Sport that featured a similar windscreen, but it is clearly a later car. ** When I indicate that this car may be the “first Gran Sport”, I have to acknowledge that I do not know what form the original body on SL*0201*S had. That car exists today as a coupe from about 1953/54 that may be by Vignale. There are other chassis numbers that are completely undescribed as well. Pompeo (“PAVIA” = Pompeo and Valenzano Italian Automobiles) and John Edgar teamed up to advertise in Road & Track magazine with an image of this car as part of the promotion.

  • The Detomaso Mangusta an Italian Exotic That Happened by Accident
    The DeTomaso Mangusta An Italian exotic that happened by accident.. By Rick Feibusch In the good old days, years before the implementation of emissions and safety laws, exotic high-performance automakers woul d just build a car, display it at a few key international auto shows and start taking orders. There wasn't even a legal requirement that the manufacturer road test a prototype before the first production models were delivered to the public! Italian automakers were particularly prone to using the public to test their cars - after delivery. The DeTomaso Mangusta was a particularly interesting example. The Mangusta was born out of the ambition of Argentinian race driver Alejandro De Tomaso who, like many othe r racers, yearned to build his own cars. DeTomaso was born to a wealthy family in a small town near Buenos Aires. He left Argentina in 1955, just one step ahead of Juan Peron's goon squads, having offended the great dictator with political writings publi shed in a local newspaper. Peron, like his idol Adolph Hitler, loved sports cars and heavily supported successful drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio because he believed that if drivers from his country won races, it showed a national superiority. Since DeTomaso wouldn't play ball, he was excluded from the gravy train. DeTomaso left for Italy, the land of his grandparents with only $126 in his racing jumpsuit He met Isabelle Haskell, a rich American woman who owned and raced a Siata and a Maserati. In those d ays, women racers were a rare and unproven commodity, and Ms.

  • The Siata SC (“Sport Corsa”**) of 1948 & Earlier Information Compiled and Presented by John De Boer
    The Siata SC (“Sport Corsa”**) of 1948 & earlier Information compiled and presented by John de Boer. Any input welcomed at [email protected] ** First off, Renato Ambrosini, son of the builder and winner of the 1948 Italian Sport 750 championship in the first example built, did not remember if “SC” represented “Sport Corsa” or “Sport da Competizione” when I spoke with him during the 1980’s and 1990’s. Either way, the meaning is essentially the same. Some background: During 1947 to 1954, there was the possibility of building a “Sport 750” category car that could also race in a certain number of “Corsa 750” races held throughout Italy. The “SC” was Siata’s version of such a car for 1948. Early in 1948, Siata was authorized by the Italian government to issue its own chassis numbers. Prior to that time, cars prepared and/or completely constructed by Siata generally carried a Fiat chassis number. In certain rare cases, a car was assigned a “numero d’ufficio”, a number assigned by local motoring authorities. It seems that the tubular-chassis “SC” was the first series of purpose-made chassis to become numbered by SIATA. S.I.A.T.A. was an acronym that changed during 1948/1949 from “Società Italiana Applicazioni Techniche Auto- Aviatorie” to “Società Italiana Auto Trasformazioni Accessori”. Company literature and advertisements often listed the name simply as “Siata”. SIATA was formed 1926 by Giorgio Ambrosini and continued under him to 1959 when the company merged briefly with Abarth, becoming “Siata-Abarth” until 1961. During 1961, it became “SIATA-AUTO” under the direction of Giorgio Ambrosini and one of his sons, Renato Ambrosini.

    Important Collectors’ Motor Cars Knokke-Le Zoute, Belgium I 5 October 2018 LOT 40 Ex-Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) 1970 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SHADOW CONVERTIBLE Muhammad Ali and Diana Ross next to the Rolls-Royce outside Caesars Palace in Las Vegas before his fight against Joe Bugner, 14 February 1973. © Getty images © LAT As Head of the European Motor Car Department for Bonhams it gives me very great pleasure to return to Knokke Le Zoute for the sixth auction sale in this luxurious holiday resort which is the epicentre of lifestyle and art on the Belgian seaside. My special thanks go to Count Leopold Lippens, mayor of the town and president of the Zoute Automobile Club, the town of Knokke-Heist and all of its officials and the organisers of the Zoute Grand Prix. We have sourced an exciting and varied selection of automobilia and collectors’ motor cars, with a particularly strong accent on quality rather than quantity and with numerous lots offered without reserve allowing buyers not vendors to determine the current market correct values. Whether you are an experienced bidder wishing to enhance your collection or a first time buyer, I am confident that we offer something that will appeal to you – in addition where else in the world can you one day tell your grandchildren that you bid on and hopefully purchased the car they are driving in a spectacular tent on a beach! In our commitment to holding this sixth sale here in Belgium’s most prestigious seaside resort we very much wish to make a statement of our belief in the success of the five previous editions and in continuing the construction of a long and rewarding partnership with the above, as well as the event partners and sponsors over the coming years and share with them a common goal of providing another rewarding experience with the very best service.
