Un-correction

When Bira fitted the OSCA engine to the Maserati it was renamed as the OSCA 20 and entered as such.

Sorry, Rob, but OSCA-4500G (chassis no. 4501 owned by Franco Rol), Maserati-OSCA (chassis 1598 owned by Bira) and OSCA 20 (being precise - OSCA Tipo F2) - three absolutely different cars. Besides, OSCA 20 had been produced for two customers: Elie Bayol (chassis 2001, engine no. 2001, red color, date of delivery - august 1952) and for Louis Chiron (chassis 2002, engine no. 2002, light blue, date of delivery - october 1952).

I have Orsini/Zagari's book 'OSCA. La rivincita dei Maserati', Giorgio Nada Editore, 1989, the most complete history of OSCA company.
