My considerations on the (best) 348 challenge.

[Liuck420]

Hi Claudio,
I think is not all correct, from mine documentation and photo the 2 first 348 with challenge spec in race 1992 GT were the yellow TS ex Jhon Wayne, an the red TB from Firenze (FI on plate, Photo in Attachment of these two car)...
... for sure then, for 1993 season, other 20/23 were prepared to race In New born 348Challenge , and maybe the yellow TS #11 ex Massello, was one of these, and maybe one of first TS of these 23 other late car. I know there was other TS from 1993...i think 10/15 ,348 TS challenge in all Europe ,total.
I know P. MASSELLI at today, live in my city and I have some Photo from old magazine and documents. But please Claudio show to all us the car at today. And we will se another fantastic piece of history on forum.
We all waiting

First two 348 challenge race cars, 1992, GT italia (superturismo / gran criteri)

Claudio,

We have seen the excellent documentation from Luca. What documentation would you be able to provide, showing your car to be one of the two first private challenge cars?

I asked to the forum if some member have more detail about that ....I was only curious to know something more if possible.
I find in internet a document with writted that only 2 TS CH were raced on a production of 57 ....

...and this is my car.
Sorry for the bad quality pic, but also if seem to be unbealievable, right now I only have a few pic of my car made 15 years ago with a cheap cell.phone ( I'm not a photography enthusiast )... Of course can make now some new if interesting ....

I can check for, how many TS challenge were made in the Italian series.... I m sure not only two in Europe, and same in Italy becouse I had drive and shoot another red TS, Modena plate, ex MOTOR (driver :Errani).. I I have a photo from Monza 1993, with 3 or 4 TS... I Chek and post it all

Thanks Luca !
So, what Franco Lembo wroted ... is wrong ?
Forgot to tell you before .... my car was made in 1992

[Liuck420]

franco lembo had a GTS, are different car to TS...
348 TS was made in approx 4000 unit, and only 15/20 in europe, was modified to race in challenge, maybe less, i think
348 GTS was made in 252 unit in the world, and is probable, only two was modified to challenge, but i'm not sure 100%
