De Sanctis
Although better known for their single seaters, including Formula 3, De Sanctis also produced some 'road' cars, really meant for sportscar racing. One such car was presented at the Turin Motorshow in 1966 and had a mid-mounted engine with a choice of capacities, from 1000, 1600 or 2000cc. The Colotti transmission could be fitted with five or six ratios.
De Sanctis himself won his first Italian Championship titles in 1952 and continued to take many until 1957 when he decided to suspend his career as a driver in order to concentrate on his growing tuning and preparation business. Formula Junior, F2 and F3 cars followed, before in 1964 he turned more to sportscars. Engines included Alfa Romeo, OSCA, ATS and Ford units in bodies similar to the one pictured. From the late 1960's his attention again turned primarily to single-seaters, continuing until he ceased to do business at the end of the 1970's. Source
