the type names of most Vaillante F1 are not officials as not mentionned in the books. This author has its own naming system, I have mine Smile

Thanks for the delicious illustrations Smile

1960/1961

All we know is Vaillante was still running rear-engine cars as the 621 is the first rear-engine F1 Vaillante. Maybe an evolution of the Mystere Which would have been terribly old fashioned.

Floretti

The "Floretti" is a car built by Mauro Bianchi and Joseph Renier, chief mechanic of Vaillante for the needs of a movie. Its base is a year-old Emeryson from Ecurie Nationale Belge, but the engine is secretly the new Vaillante, due to appear later in the year powering the first rear-engine Vaillante.
