Today we continue our look back at some of the great events we visited during the month of May with detailed features on three interesting racing cars that starred.
The earliest of these is the Ferrari 750 Monza, which was shown at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. This was a prime example of Ferrari's mighty four-cylinder racers of the mid 1950s. It was the very first Ferrari sold new to Marquis Alfonso de Portago. Complete with flames on the nose, the Monza was campaigned by De Portago during the 1955 season. Chassis 0496M is once again in Spanish ownership and was recently completely restored to its original configuration and colour scheme.
Formula 1 cars were shown at Villa d'Este for the first time. Among them was this Alfa Romeo 182 F1 shown by its Italian owner. The type 182 was Alfa Romeo's first Grand Prix car with a carbon-fibre composite monocoque. Chassis 182/04 placed first at the Monaco Grand Prix even though Andrea de Cesaris ran out of fuel on the final lap.
At last week's Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or, French racing legend Gerard Larrousse was re-united with the very Porsche 911 ST that he raced to third overall in the 1970 Tour de France. Reportedly the lightest Porsche 911 racing car ever built, it was beaten only by a pair of Matra prototypes. The ex-Larrousse 911 ST was restored and prepared for racing by British Porsche specialist Historika.
