Unsolved Mysteries
1. Minozzi Special
p282-283.
It is not known where Giovanni Minozzi’s car was built, nor is the origin of its 6-cylinder engine fitted known. This photograph, from Aosta – Gran San Bernardo on 28th August 1949, is the best photo discovered to date.
2. Romano Malaguti’s Maserati at Forlì - July 6, 1947.
A Maserati driven by Malaguti (see p43-44) appeared in this race for 1100 unsupercharged racing cars at Forli in July 1947. This was, as far as is known, Malaguti’s only appearance in a Maserati after WWII. This photograph of the start photo shows a car with an offset driving position, but it is unclear which car this was. Better photos are needed for identification. In 1949 Malaguti built a Fiat 1100 sports car special, which, it is reported, contained Maserati parts.
3. A French 1500cc sports car special
The British magazine “Motor Racing’ in its issue of August 1955 published a news item relating to a sports car special with an old 1500 Maserati engine which had been built by a Frenchman, David Sant.
No further information has been found relating to this car.
