Old Irish Racing Model Collection - Racing Support Vehicles and Transporters

RACE SUPPORT VEHICLES AND TRANSPORTERS

The unsung heroes of many racing teams has been the support vehicles and transporters which haul gear, crew and cars to and from racing venues. They have been a simple as single axle open trailers towed behind old pickup trucks, to ulti-axle semi trailers which double as mobile workshops, crew quarters and lounges. Presented here is our collection ofthe vehicles that make the racing possible.

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super Colli Giardiniera: Between eleven and sixteen Alfa Giulia Super sedans were converted to wagons by Carrozzeria Colli of Milan at the request of Alfa Romeo. Some such as this vehicle were used as race and rally support vehicles by Alfa Romeo in the period when new, as well as parts wagons for Alfa distributors in Europe. With a 1.6L four-cylinder twin cam engine using two Weber carbs and producing 97 hp, one can see this car chasing GTV's at rally events across the Alps, or in the pits at Monza or Spa providing service back-up for racing teams.

PLEASE NOTE: From 1968 into the 1990's tobacco companies sponsored many significant race cars. In the interest of historical accuracy, Old Irish Racing chooses to display models in our collection as historically accurate as possible. While seeing a tobacco advert on a car gives me no more desire to go smoke than seeing a car makes me want to go suck on its exhaust pipe. If tobacco (or alcohol) adverts on race cars offend you, please go look at nice pictures of bunnies and kittens on another site.
