Siata SC 006 (A “Sport Corsa”**) of 1948 Information Compiled and Presented by John De Boer Siata SC 006 (a “Sport Corsa”**) of 1948 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. The distinctive badge locations and other minor details tell us that this is chassis SC006. This car seems to be one of eight tubular truss-structure “SC” chassis that were numbered by Siata. Some descriptive accounts call the car a “TC”, perhaps promoting a new engine that failed to fulfill hopes at Siata? We know that SC001 was used by Renato Ambrosini to win the Italian Sport 750 championship of 1948. I strongly suspect he used SC002 as well? His success was used to help promote the “Supertesta Tipo B” Siata cylinder head that was designed to be used on Fiat 500 engine blocks. The highest chassis number known is SC008. It is possible there were a few additional SC cars made with higher numbers, but certainly not many! It seems that three cars were bodied similarly in spider siluro form by Motto. SC006 is seemingly the third and last such siluro by Motto. Chassis SC001 and chassis SC002 were very similar but each has unique badge locations, so we can tell “which was which” in historical photographs. Due to changes in the “Sport Internazionale” rules, SC002 and SC006 were given similar new fenders for the 1952 racing season, so they continued to resemble each other while SC001 remained in its 1948 form. May 1948, chassis SC 001 This photo is copyrighted by Pubblifoto. SC002 was also used 1948 by Renato Ambrosini in cycle-fendered form. This is the 1952 Targa Florio, also known as the “Giro di Sicilia” this year ,,, but not every year. Due to rules changes for 1952, chassis SC002 has received fenders rather similar to those on SC006. This photo is copyrighted by the Klementaski Collection. September 1948 and the Salone Internazionale dell’Automobile – Torino Four special cars were displayed by Siata. Front and center is the Bersagliera, a mid-engined 750cc twin-cam racing sports car, seemingly with seating for three little people? Was this special chassis numbered SC003 or SC007? Perhaps it was not numbered at all? It may be that the light-colored car showing only a bit of its nose was numbered SC007? I do not know anything specific of SC003 or SC007 but I suspect that SC007 and SC008 were also on the Siata stand with SC006 at Torino during September of 1948. In addition to the Bersagliera, two special cars were displayed with very different bodies, also by Motto. It seems possible that the Bersagliera, seen also at the 1948 show, carried one of the missing SC chassis numbers even though it was a very different chassis and engine configuration? If SC008 was displayed (perhaps with the “Orchidea” (a.k.a. “Berlinetta Mille Miglia”) body fitted, the chassis became bodied again. SC008 appeared in Italy less than two years later in a different form while the car I suspect was SC007 came to the USA during 1951 and was raced until it was seemingly destroyed during the late 1950's. We can hope that it merely disappeared and may turn up one day! SC004 and SC005 were each given a distinctive body shape by Zagato and each seems to exist today. I will share another descriptive document that will describe what we know about the entire SC series and photos will be shared there. Briefly, I was told by the owner that SC005 was stolen some thirty years ago. I saw it in Torino prior to the theft and really wish I had taken some photos! I thought I had done so? Maybe I had no film at the time? Regardless, I thought I'd see it again. As I recall, it had a Fiat 600 engine fitted at the time I saw it. Moving on to SC006, owned by father since 2013 and studied since then rather inadequately by myself! I did not know a lot when I suggested that my father make an offer on SC006 some six years ago. Once we got it home and looked it over carefully and compared it to the photos we had of similar cars, it became clear that the car was first seen September 1948 at the Turin Auto Show. It became clear that the car had raced 1949 to 1952 with Mario Paesetti. Studying this car allowed me to identify which car did what. I found I had original negatives! Bertazzini foto I purchased a small collection of negatives in Italy during 1987. The collection included the images seen above and below. Important visual “fingerprints” for the car are in the badge and script locations, different on each of the three cars made. This is Mario Paesetti in SC006 at the Aosta – Gran San Bernardo hillclimb of August 1949. foto Bertazzini The Aosta - Gran San Bernardo images shared above were the earliest Mario Paesetti in-the-car images I had for quite some time even as I recorded references to him racing at earlier events, beginning with a 2nd in class finish on the Mille Miglia of 1949. I visited Dino Brunori during December 2015. The son of Arturo Trevisan had passed some scrapbook scans to him and he shared them with me. Among many clippings and photos that answered many other questions, there was a nice image of Trevisan in a Nardi-Danese-BMW with SC006 gridded behind him during July 1949. Early this year, thanks to a heads-up from Corrado Bellabarba, I found two images of the car on the Stella Alpina from early August 1949. The hood is off and we can see some firewall detail. The images I have are small but cleaner than this. They will not paste into this document cleanly. I will attempt to get better versions from the source. Thanks to Nicolo Caffarena for this image (and another) of SC006 at the Pontedecimo-Giovi, September 1949 Mario Paesetti finished 7th in the Italian Sport 750 Championship for 1949 in his “Fiat” (Fiat-Siata) 3 April 1950 and the Targa Florio = Giro di Sicilia … from Targapedia 23 April 1950 = Mille Miglia, #245 SC006 with Mario Paesetti and Carlo Lana. Foto Sorlini, copyright Giorgio Nada 4 June 1950 = Coppa della Toscana foto Locchi copyright 28 April 1951 = Mille Miglia, #020 “Fiat 750” with Paesetti & Lana foto Sorlini, copyright Giorgio Nada 4 May 1952 = Mille Miglia, SC006 has new fenders to meet new rules. Foto Locchi copyright June 1952 – Coppa della Toscana foto Locchi copyright foto from Paolo Bellinazzi … Grazie! 2 May 1954 = Mille Miglia, Paolo Bellotti with Leonardelli The MM entry form finally says “Siata 750” and reports the chassis & engine numbers “SC006” 30 April 1955 = Mille Miglia, Franco Romei & Bruno Brunacci with Franco’s “Fiat Siata”, SC006 The racing history identified thus far shows Mario Paesetti racing at least 23 events from 1949 to August 1952. There may well be more? The next owner, Paolo Bellotti, used it at least twice and the third owner, Francesco Romei, used it once … so far. We are at 26 events from 1949 to 1955 for the car … and counting … I have gathered many photos not shared here and there are several events for which I have only descriptive information, entry lists and/or results. There is much more to find and learn! SC006 was sold 1956 to Luigi Sartori in Venice and was seemingly raced no more. It was then sold December 1958 to Lt. Stewart L. Swihart, presumed to have been a U.S. serviceman stationed in Napoli. The original engine for SC006 (also numbered SC 006) came to the USA with the car. The engine was damaged seemingly beyond repair around 1960 or so. It was left with the mechanic who fitted the Fiat 500 engine in use currently. He also did the adaptation of the SIATA manifolds and Weber 28DR carburetors to this engine, numbered Fiat 500B*283745*, actually a 500C engine. I've not yet been able to locate the mechanic. In any case, the original engine had been prepared by Siata with a third main added in the middle and what was described as a Hirth-style crankshaft and some sort of roller bearing configuration. I do not know if it was only the center main that had the roller-bearing. I've been hoping to find the remains of the original engine so that we would know precisely what to do to build an engine like the original. In the meantime, it is a fun driver as it is. I have a friend in Italy who has a correct style Siata cylinder head that he would sell to me reluctantly. He has not given me a price. I have seen other similar Siata cylinder heads in the past so I am certain we can get one. 7 September 2019, Grass Valley, California Interested in this Mille Miglia “entry ticket”? Or … Wanna just talk SIATA? Or Abarth or Moretti? Please call John de Boer at (001) 925/457-5283 or email: [email protected] .

  • SIATA Daina “Gran Sport” SL*0203* Stabilimenti Farina #9683 (Historical Compilation and Presentation by John De Boer)
    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.

Presented at the 1950 Torino motorshow this Siata 2 door sports Modèle Daina Berlinetta Coupé continued the very innovative design-trend set by the Cisitalia 202 just a couple of years before and was still 1 year ahead of the Année de construction 1951 even so much celebrated Lancia Aurelia B20. Chassis N°: SL 0121 must be one of the prototypes of the Siata Daina Berlinetta being coachbuilt by Stabilimenti Farina entirely in aluminium, having a unique bonnet-scoop from original, only one port-hole vent on the side of the front wings, a thinner and more elegant grille, etc... Found in 1984 in a derilict garage, the last Italian owner started a lengthy and comprehensive restoration of the steel chassis & substructure, aluminium skin, the whole mechanics, electricity, instruments, chrome, badges, trim, etc... respecting rigourously the originality of this Siata. All this labour was rewarded in 2006 by a very, very neat looking Siata. I was also very impressed when viewing this Daina Berlinetta for the first time. The exterior body colour in light blue metallic, which is this cars original shade, looks absolutely stunning and suits this model perfectly. This excellent impression was once again confirmed when concentrating on the mechanics. Super smooth, totally overhauled 4 cylinder 1500 cc engine (N°: SL 0121) fed by a twin carburettor set-up (90 HP), 5 speed gearbox commanded by an easy handling steering-column shift, steering, brakes, etc..
