A small number of similar cars were built, generally using the formula of a tubular chassis with a dohc Giannini engine, although the last car they built used the mechanicals from the Fiat 600. Although most of their cars were open two-seaters a few coupés were also built, with the bodies generally by Motto.
The last car they constructed emerged in 1956 after which the brothers went on to compete in other vehicles.
