Fiat, Turin, Italy. The best off-track display at the 2016 Le Mans Classic was undoubtedly that of the racing car transporters, including this beautiful Fiat truck used by Scuderia Ferrari. This Fiat bus chassis was bought by the Scuderia Ferrari in 1957 and transformed by coachbuilder Bertoletti at Forli into their race car transporter which was used until the early sixties. As well as transporting the cars it gave the mechanics a portable workshop and a place to sleep. So much more inspiring than the modern versions! The Fiat had a 92hp 6 cylinder diesel engine and it could transport three GP or sports racing cars around Europe to famous tracks such as Spa, Monaco and the Nurburgring. Must have been amazing to see one of these fully laden on the road. Unlike the Ferraris it carried it had a very modest top speed of just 85 kph.
