I don't know French, but it seems to me that here an owner of #1531 is interviewed:

I think you'd better click the upper link and read yourself if you know French, but as I understood it, chassis #1531 is basically a 6CM used by Rossi in 1936-1937, but later the engine was replaced by 4CM version and was used by Harry Schell in 1948. Not sure, cause my French, as I have already said, is horrible...

BTW, Pieter, at the pic of the numberplate you provided, it could be seen that the plate was changed somehow (at least, it seems to me so), especially that ornament under the '4' figure... Maybe Schell changed it together with the engine?

And yes, the last - I found that soke version were made of 4CS 1500 using bodies by Campari, Sorniotto and Menarini. What I know for sure is that #1124 is not Menarini. I've got a pic of Menarini car and will post it soon.

EDIT: Though here the info is completely different...

Detail - Tipo 6 CM s/n 1531
