Ceirano Type 150 S 1926
Chassis n° 2601 Engine n°745 Skiff bodywork To be registered as a collection Eligible for Mille Miglia (participation in 1927 and 1930) The Ceirano Type150 S we are presenting is a real rarity. The Ceirano family, pioneers in the Italian mobile car world, created or worked for more than ten car brands between 1899 and 1931 (Ceirano, Scat, Itala, Fiat, SPA, Aurea, Star ...). The genius of the four Italian brothers was equalled only by their inability to agree, which explains their rather confidential production. It's a pity, you might say, when you see the extent of their talents. The dashboard is partially complete, ammeter, oil pressure, contactor, and even altimeter are present. The snakeskin that covers the dashboard is worth noting. Its lines are reminiscent of the Alfa Romeo 1750s of the 1920s, of which it is a contemporary. The gearbox alone is a little marvel in its design, not unlike that of its Alfa Romeo cousins. An English enthusiast of the brand patiently reassembled all the mechanical parts before making a custom body. The result is breathtaking. The car is now presented as a project to be relaunched. All the major mechanical parts are present (engine, gearbox, axle, front axle, chassis) but some of them need to be checked, others need to be completed or completely restored. Nothing more has been done on the car since the body was put on the chassis. This trial assembly had the merit to check that no major part was missing and to give an idea of the general look of the car. And let's be honest, the bodybuilder didn't miss a thing. Ceirano offered two versions for its 4-cylinder 1.5 litre engine: with side valves or, like ours, with overhead valves (more powerful). On the intake side, the Bosch starter motor is noteworthy. On the exhaust side, the beautiful Ceirano plate covers the block, and the Dynamo is in place. The cast aluminium bulkhead can be seen. This is one of the most exciting projects we have seen in a long time. Bringing this Ceirano back to life promises to be quite an adventure. Once finished, it will have a place in all the rallies and competitions in Europe, as it is so rare and beautiful. Last but not least, it is eligible to participate in the mythical Mille Miglia race. The car will be supplied with two boxes of parts, which can be seen at the exhibition.
