Fiat Mephistopheles color

[Orso]

Another question I have is the exhaust. There are pictures with a matt/rope wrapped exhaust and with a glossy not wrapped exhaust. Did they re-restore the car in modern times ??

Here is a picture from 1925 with a new radiator cowling and no exhaust pipe: https://oldmachinepress.com/2021/02/20/ ... s-lsr-car/

Basically you can do whatever with the car as it ran in so many different configurations over the years. I like the idea of a black car, however, as with almost everything black, details get lost in a black paintjob, which is why I would probably paint it red. But, of course, leave the Mefistofeles sticker unused. Also reading up on the story of the car and the Isotta Maybach... man, I love what they did back then. I mean... just by the pure figures of those cars. The Mefistofeles has about the same dimensions as my estate, even down to t with the weight, but beats it in power (depending on which figure you chose to believe - 300, 320, 350 by upto 115 hp) yet the estate will probably outrun it in every single discipline with the exception of fuel consumption (point of view really ). What really boggles my mind is that with all the power they added and the recurring theme of shredded tyres they never bothered to try adding a second set of tyres to the rear axle - like they did with the supercharged Auto Union Typ C a few years later.

Roman-

Can you point me to any other references which show or describe different configurations? Books or on-line links?

Thanks
