SPORTS CARS ILLUSTRATED 1959 FEB - ABARTHS, OSCA 1100

 

This hard to find magazine became Car & Driver in 1961 and is listed as Vol. 5, No. 8.  Somehow SCI got their numbering system off because this issue is actually Vol. 4, No. 8.  It took them almost a year to catch their mistake.

 

The cover picture is of John Milos in an OSCA & DeTomaso in an OSCA 1100. 

 

Within this issue you will discover the following topics:

1) The latest GT cars from Europe

2) The new Abarth Bialbero 750 & Pinifarina Abarth 750 

3) Testing the Abarth convertible & coupe
