Thank you for those links! Here is a modest OSCA group on flickr, which I contribute to when I can. http://www.flickr.com/groups/osca/
The car in the pictures is bill davids's MT-4 1450cc chassis number 1135. Same as bill's earlier car it wore a rare Frua body, similar to the morreli body but subtly different. Here is some info on OSCA 2000: http://www.pietro-frua.de/1954_osca.htm Elad
Hi would you know how to get in touch with the owner of this great flicker photo album? He has a picture that is a must for me. Rgds Elad
You can send email to the owner via Flickr (you need a Yahoo/Flickr ID for this) http://www.flickr.com/mail/write/?to=54253927@N03
PM?Sorry I don´t know what that stands for.... Anyway I am looking for Chassis Number 2006. Built in 1959 and shipped to the States in the very early sixties. Participated at the Bahamas Speed week.....
Some info for the serial number buffs (like me): Post 7 is indeed #1174/1163, sporting a Volvo engine at that time. Post 28 is #767, Post 41 is actually #762, sold new to USA, has been in Japan, not sure where it is now. The Le Mans #761 no longer exists. Post 52, top three is #1196. I can confirm that red ex Villoresi/Musso/Jon Fast 1956 TN was renumbered to #1163 at the factory in 1957, from #1174, for some registration document reasons. It was originally red with single windscreen and painted blue/yellow in 1957 when sold to Fast. I think it looked nice both ways! Dan Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I would agree that the No 9 car in post #46 is #2003, as it has the extra vent-louvres behind the front wheel-arch and scoop on the bonnet typical of the 6-cylinder 2000S. The author of the "Vintage Racer" magazine-article has most likely just mistaken it for #1135, also owned by Bill David and having a similar colour scheme. Best regards, Dan 2003 was later rebodied with a TN style Morelli body: Image Unavailable, Please Login

A picture of undiluted joy! Lap of honour, James Eichenlaub with 764 at Virginia International Raceway, May 3rd 1959. He went on to win the SCCA H-mod championship that year. /Dan Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thank you, here is a less happy one! However, Cabianca survived this crash at Catania-Etna Sept 27th 1959 and #1190 was apparently rebuilt by the factory. /Dan Image Unavailable, Please Login

Thank you Dan Nick was right the first time about post 7. Olle in the picture owned a 200si also at that time. Nick the Brolen car was at Amelia Island 2012. Now in the USA.
very cool - an OSCA being tailored by Morelli [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaiQT5SvAoA[/ame] elad
Hi Elad, My Name is Jason, Im from Northeastern PA. and Im sorry to change subjects on this post guys!, (Especially for a first time poster.) I have a 2013 Abarth on order. I saw via search that you happen to own the only Assetto Corse on US soil, You sir are a very lucky fella!, Do you still own the car? Are you located on the east coast? I have been trying to locate a real assetto corse in order to possibly take some in depth photos to produce an affordable intake system based on the Assetto corse setup for us US based Multiair abarth owners. Thanks for your help!, Jason
