Gentlemen, In the link below is a very interesting film from the 1952 Giro dell’Umbria. At the 0,52 mark, there is a Touring barchetta with registration R-16148 (presumably from Roma, but it is more often written « Roma » in its entirety). The caption wrongly identifies Pedini with a Maserati. Aldo Pedini did campaign an A6GCS monofaro in 1952 (I wonder which one by the way ?), but I did not know he raced a Ferrari. Or perhaps it is not Pedini at all ? What do you reckon ? Thanks
Aldo Pedini did not race an A6GCS -in this case the early "monofaro"- in 1952. In 1956 he competed in an A6GCS that he had bought as a used car.
Giletti apparently had number 304, while the « mystery » car is 302. Walter, I am not sure if you are disputing my naming of Pedini’s 1952 Maserati as an A6GCS (I did state monofaro) or that he raced a Maserati in 1952 ? The latter is a fact (I have at least 8 entries), confirmed by period reports and photo evidence.
#228 was Barbetti with 007/S #302 was Pedini with ?? #304 was Giletti with 0046/M #306 was Piotti with 0104/E #308 was Gazzabini with 0074/E Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The Giro dell'Umbria took place on 12 June 1952. FWIW the Factory issued their Certificate of Origin for 0104 E on the 24 June 1952 only and 0104 E was sold to Luigi Piotti on the 4th July 1952 only. I have the paperwork for this. Marcel Massini
Also most of the captions in the video are totally wrong: a Fiat 1400 sedan became a Fiat 1500....They confused models with categories.!
