I believe, it is the sister car #412036 that won the 1947 Mille Miglia w/ Biondetti. The cars are distinguishable by different louvering on the sides of the bonnet, with the louvres on 412035 extending beyond the edge of the bonnet into the side of the cowl. Contemporary Millie Miglia photos of the Biondetti car do not show the louvering extending into the cowl.

Dear all,

Here is a picture of the 8C 2900's (#412035) 'first show' in South Africa (circa 1980) before being sent to England for restoration.

These pics are priceless!! Nice!

Some guy will use these in 50 years time when he wants to restore it all over again....

Hi all

Anyone have contact details for Mr Cohen please? I'd love to see if he'd be willing to chat about his cars and stuff. Thanks!

Ciao
