1935 Monaco-Trossi GP car.
It never raced but would have made a heck of a noise if it ever did.
The handling was a bit suspect due to the poor weight distribution, but it was clocked at 150mph at Monza
NO - COMPLETELY WRONG..................................................................................................  oh OK - your right - hoped I would get a bit longer on it. How did you find it - did you type in Radial Engine car on Mr Google? So on to the next one - what colour do you require, may have to go down deeper into the cellar, the darker end. NO - COMPLETELY WRONG.................................................................................................. I googled Radial engined racing car!!! and i recalled it was at Goodwood a few yaers ago, simple really! Can I have a brown one for a change. |

It is a 1959 Simca Special, designed by Virgil Exner Jr.
It was created as his dream car for his master-thesis at the University of Notre Dame. It is based on a 1950 Fiat Chasis, with some mechanical parts from Simca. The glassfibre body was moulded by Exner himself, at the Dual-Ghia assembly plant.
Later, the car was sold to a Chrysler dealer, and in 1965, the car was bought by Beau Hickory.
Under his hands, the car was converted from a show-car to a daily driver,
adding the panoramic windscreen (coming from an Opel), and the T-Bar-roof. Years later, the car was sold to a friend of Beau Hickory,
he did some additional work on the car, for example, the engine was replaced by a Datsun one.
