I'm not sure at all- in fact I don't have a bloody clue!!
Think of girls names  Lee and Francis are hardly bloody girl's names, at best they are both unisex. Grrr,  another duff Leftie clue/question! I'm going to rub jalepenos into your scrotum at the chilli festioval on saturday, that'll learn ya! GIVE UP!!!! GGGrrrrrrrrrrrr! Andy, It's Lea Francis, and the clue was correct, I was making it a bit different. I've already had chilli in the nether regions  Do you know how much of folk's valuable time you've wasted so far? Your last three questions/clues were all wrong. First of all we get a Jensen/Saint thing where you didn't even know the right answer when you posted the question, then we get told there's two "R's" in Bristol Blenheim and now we are told to think of two girl's names when in fact they could just as easily have been men's names. Let's face it, you're just not cut out to be a Magnus Magnusson!!! |

Think Bizza after the infamous 'palace' walkout but before he went on his own. Where did he go (with Carlo Chitti amongst others)? Cryptic clue- Hovis!
Follow the trail and you'll get it.
It is stunning to behold isn't it?

There was only one 'La Camionette' I think and thats not a picture of it is it?
Could it be the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo/Bizzarrini Special 2053GT that came before the Breadvan?
Unless there was a another version or are we barking up the wrong tree
Did ATS make a GT car? its displaying the Scuderia Serenissima Republica di Venezia flag on the side I think

Never heard of it before, been great fun reading thru all the stories that link Count Giovanni Volpi, Ferrari, ATS, Bizzarrini etc, all coming together to give us the 250GTO, Bread Van, ISO Bizzarrini etc.
I doubt if any other country could have produced them.
One of the reasons for the palace revolt was Mr Ferraris slowness in embracing rear engined cars, was this maybe the first rear engined Italian GT car?

The biggest reason for the palace revolt was Mrs Ferrari's big mouth. She was a bit of a dragon by all accounts. A little like someone I know  What a wonderfull era the 60's were in Italy for car building- the list of breathtaking cars is endless. They were more than just cars and finer than any other art form in my eyes. Thats why I have no interest in anything modern- it all looks far inferior by comparison- which is quite sad really for a car lover like me. Oh well, who's going to fox us next? |

And the Hovis link was what? Hard to think of a link between brown bread and a 60's Italian Gt unless it's Ridley Scott; he directed the famous 1973 advert.  |

that was tough and fair, being a 308 engine would that mean it was derived from a Ferrari. just a thought, don't know for sure?
The engines were built by Serenissima themselves. more than one version was made and the original 3 litre unit was used in Bruce McLaren's first Formula 1 car before he switched to BRM power. |

The Hovis link was bread- breadvan- count volpi- scuderia serenissima. Do try to keep up Zarse!
The engine was, I think, labeled ATS. It wan't very good by all accounts- lacked power and was unreliable.

Nope, I still don't get it... Was Count Volpi's firm the exporter of Italian-built breadvan's to Rank Hovis MacDougall? Did they quickly rust to bits in the gentle Yorkshire drizzle  |
