Fernando Minoia, Bugatti T35C 1929 Targa

Evocative period shot of Fernando Minoia’s second placegetting 1929 Targa Florio pitstop…

Albert Divo won the endurance classic that year run over the ‘Circuito Polizzi’, the event comprising 5 laps of the 108Km course, 540Km in total.

Divo and Minoia both drove Bugatti Type 35s’, the T35C. T35 is surely the most successful production racing car ever built? Third place went to Gastone Brilli-Peri in an Alfa 6C 1750 SS.

I am unsure on the photo’s location if one of you happens to know? The more you look the more you see…
