Mille Miglia 2010-Buonconvento-May 08 2010

Was there any sign of a copy of Claude Storez's Porsche Carrera Zagato? I've read that Zagato was building a replica of that car.

Oh..always loved the Cooper T33. Thanks for the shots.

and a minor correction: the T33 UBH292 was made in 1955, not 1957.

Hi faksta,
as I wrote in my first post, the evocation of the Mille Miglia now no longer permitted copies or replicas of the cars but only originals.

In the official list the year of construction is 1954.
However, the "MM 1957" was referred the year of participation in the Mille Miglia.

Thanks. But I was thinking of possibly 'guest appearance', not as a participant. Seems they want (if they want) to launch it in some other place.

If there was I missed it.
As two thirds of the cars entered ...

Great pictures indeed.
The 'Massimo Ermini' BMW 328 is a Reip Speciale from Belgium. Originally from 1937, it was modified in (I guess) fifties. Not much of BMW 328 is there (in case it is the original Reip) - the engine is Mercedes, some other parts from Porsche and VW. Didn't know it still existed.

La macchia è quella originale con cui Reip ha corso durante tutti gli anni '50, avete informazioni riguardante questa auto?

welcome/benvenuto Massimo, i'll just translate
"The car is that in which Reip competed every year in the fifties. Do you information regarding this car?"

[faksta]

Welcome, Massimo.

I took this information from the web (the French forum called Autodiva) - the car is quite noticeable, so I remembered it well. I'll PM you the exact source of this information. I don't have any paper source about Belgian racing machinery yet, unfortunately.

Are you the owner of this car? It would be very interesting to know something more for me, too.

are we talking about this car?

[faksta]

Yes, obviously. Thanks for the picture. Is it a 2010 Retromobile or what?

2007, I think it was at the stand of the Galerie des Damiers and they still seem to have it

Ah..I suppose 2010 on the picture meant the year it was taken.
I've seen this page, but have forgotten about it.

La macchina è proprio quella, il restauro è durato tre anni, ma penso, visto il risultato, che sia riuscito bene. Sto cercando notizie sul passato sportivo di questa auto. So che ha partecipato a 4 LIEGI-ROMA-LIEGI, a due Lyon Charbonnieres vincendone una e due Tour de Belgique vincendone una , quattro edizioni delle 12 ore di Huy olte a qualche partecipazione a SPA nella serie GT.
Grazie se avete altre informazioni.

Buonasera Massimo.
Una domanda scontata; nessuna parentela con Pasquale Ermini fondatore-costruttore delle belle Ermini in Firenze a cavallo dell'ultima guerra? O si tratta solo di un singolare caso di omonimia?

An obvious question, no relation with Pasquale Ermini founder-builder of Ermini fine race cars in Florence in thirty-fifty years?
Or is it just a strange coincidence of names?
