SVZ/SZ Drivers

Hi Martin, others

Thanks for your helpful post on Fausto Verginelli most interesting - will pm you.

There are 3 further Rome based drivers of SVZ/SZs I'm interested in and should have mentioned before you searched the archives!

Paolo Datti was a most useful driver racing an SZ on the Targa Florio in '63 with no less a co-driver of Ignazio Giunti chassis 10 number Cs 27159 - this SZ according to Hughes/Prato originally sold to Giuseppe Della Torre?
Paolo also raced some Ferraris etc but did he appear again with an SZ after '63 or was it a one off?

Rinaldo Andreini, another Roman driver seems to have raced SZ's in a minor way - any news?

Finally Piero Conti often confused with Luciano Conti who raced SZs and I think SVZs extensively before going on to found AutoSprint? in Bologna. He died in the early '90s and the magazine carried a fairly extensive review of his exploits then. But what of Piero Conti?

Thanks again Richard
