    Some confusion surely, because #244 was Sanesi's Alfa (2nd o/a) ?

    Carlsson's Ferrari did not race. He may have been there and DNS, though.

    In this case "no pics" probably means "fake news".... Info was found at barchetta.cc

    How did I miss that ? Thanks to nico308, just discovered 0048M was the dark grey berlinetta just behind 0526M ! We can even guess the altered nose.

    He was there and had an engine problem. Either during practise or early in the race session. More likely during race as he is just missing in the results.

    0048 M: altered nose?
    You may want to elaborate.

    Yes, the nose had been altered in 1955 when the car was in Switzerland. No mystery here.

    Nobody talks about a mystery.
    You probably mean the upper lip of the front grille. And the vertical air intakes.

    I have a film from the event (I can't find it online anymore) and Carlsson was not at the start of the race (9 starters).

    Checked my photos and notes and you are correct, starters were:

    #1 Michael Head Jaguar
    #2 Curt Lincoln Jaguar
    #4 Eric Brandon Halseylec-Climax
    #6 Andre Loens Maserati
    #7 Valdemar Stener Ferrari
    #11 Lord Louth Jaguar
    #52 Nils Gerremo Ford
    #57 John Kvarnstrom Ford
    #78 Erik Carlsson Talbot

    I have photos of Gunnar Carlsson's 750 Monza 0470M #9, but it did not start.
