I find this a very interesting car and one that would make a fun road car. Does any one know anything about it CAS - Club de Automóviles Sport The last picture is the headlights on an original for road use. This is the Google translation to english The story of the Argentinean monofaros begins in 1980, when Michael Dellepiane, owner of an original Maserati, decides to build, along with Julio Acuña, five replicas in the workshop that was next to the architecture study of the Dellepiane brothers in Buenos Aires. In 1982, another brother Dellepiane, Ito, decided to make another more elaborate replica, with independent suspension, disc brakes on all four wheels and with the steering column changed to the right, since most circuits turn in that address. The monofaro continued to occur over the years. Always in an artisan way, by different builders and in an open two-seater version. In 2010, Ito began to draw a coupe variant of the "monofaro", inspired by the one that Maserati built in 1947 for Gigi Villoresi. This coupe participated in the Mille Miglia of that year but could not finish the test and, worse, after a few years was definitively lost its trace. Excited with the project, Ito made many drawings, including a very original version of a coupé with separate fenders. And from there it was entrusted to make the more detailed plans, in scale 1: 2. There appeared on the scene Nicolás, the son of Ito, who came to gain experience in the construction of classic cars with Jorge Anadón and his team in the workshops of Pur Sang in Paraná. Returning to the family home in Punta del Este, Nicolás set up a workshop and decided to join his father to build the monofaro coupé that Ito had designed, in a leisurely way with few tints. One night in that house, after a rich roast and a monofaro round on a circuit of earth as dessert, appeared a "financier" and thus began in serious the handcrafted construction of the Dellepiane Monofaro Coupé. With the help of many friends, we built a small 7 x 7. store. Jorge Anadón, for example, came to visit us, encouraged us and was very enthusiastic. Nicolás, with an unknown determination and will, built absolutely everything with his hands and tools, which in some cases made them himself, for they were very expensive, like the English wheel and others. The chassis, the aluminum, the suspension, the upholstery, the paint, the exhaust pipes, the intake manifold, the hinges, everything for him was possible. In the end all that was left was to define the emblem of the car and, of course, to show it in public. One day, Ito, looking through his father's old things, the architect Nicolas Dellepiane, founder of the Club Automobile Sport Club in 1948 and the Classic Automobiles Club in 1965, found a hand-drawn pencil drawing 75 years ago that he had made Of the god of speed, Mercury. The Dellepiane Special Coupé and the mercury of Dellepiane Sport Cars had their expected premiere on the night of January 4, in Parade 5 of Punta del Este.
