    Beautiful cars. The Maseratis and the OSCA are fantastic of course, but I particularly liked the Ermini (the last photo), which I must admit I hadn't seen (a photo of...) before. A gem of a car :)

    Do any of the two pictured OMs have a racing history in the MM?

    The first OM is a 1927 665 "Superba" (2000cc), winner at the 1927 MM; the second is a 1929 665 SS (3000cc.), 5th and 7th overall at the 1930 MM.

    The Ermini is the #1855 357S (1431cc.) by Scaglietti.

    Lovely cars. Amazing that they are present at the MM more than 80 years after they raced there originally!
