Dear FLICKR friends.

 

Unfortunately I have to take it easy on FLICKR for the time being :-(

Sad circumstances affect me and my family :-(

We have to deal with it, but it requires a lot of energy :-(

I am very sorry for the inconvenience, such as hardly posting any photos, late responses, no comments etc. :-(

But, as always and very important: ENJOY, my friends ♫♪

Gr. Clay

Special:

- Series 1: 1902-1903: 6371cc - 24bhp/1200rpm - 35 units built

- Series 2: 1904: 6902cc - 34bhp/1200rpm - 121 units built

- Series 3: 1905: 7363cc - 36bhp/1400rpm - 85 km/h - exact units built unknown

- Around 400 units were assembled at the Corso Dante plant in Turin.

- The 1904 model was produced in four wheelbase lenghts to allow different body styles (two seats sports version, Tonneau, Wagonette-Tonneau, Duc-de-Dame, up to big Landaulet and Phaeton versions.

- These were expensive cars, available at Hollander & Tangeman, Fiat importer in New York, at a list price of $ 9.000, the second most expensive car in 1904, only to be surpassed by the 60HP Mercedes / Simplex. For that amount of money one could buy 10 brand new Cadillac model B’s at $ 900 each, but European cars were en vogue, offering much better engineering than contemporary American cars.

- FIAT built only the rolling chassis (chassis + drivetrain) at the Corso Dante (Turin) plant and all bodies were built by special coach builders at customers wishes.

- The 24/32 HP had (for that time) many novelties: it has a pressed steel frame (instead of a steel-reinforced wood chassis), it was the first sedan car to use a "Landaulet" body type, it was the first car to have an accelerator (foot) pedal, the first can with a band type clutch and it was the first automobile with a four-speed manual (forward) gearbox + reverse.

- Also noteworthy is the fact that in the first two series, tires with identical dimensions were used front and rear.

- The 24/34 HP "1902 24 HP Corsa" also was the first "racer" ever! It was specially designed for racing and not a "clone" of a standard automobile. It had a complete steel chassis (instead of wood), a 7238cc straight-4 twin-engine block with 40 bhp / 1.200 rpm and speeds up to 100 km/h, very fast in those days.

- Queen Margherita, the first Queen of Italy ("The Queen of pearls") owned a 24-32 HP, so called “Sparrowhawk”, in which she toured around half a year through Europe (over 5,000 km) in company of the famous racing driver Alessandro Cagno.

- As far as we know only 5 cars of this type 24/32 cars survived: Chassis number 745 from 1904 resides in The Netherlands, The Biscaretti Collection has two cars: a 1905 landaulette chassis nr. 2230, and a modified touring car, chassis number unknown but probably a late car (1908). In the UK chassis number 2538 has been rebuild as an Targa Florio inspired two-seater, whereas in the USA chassis number 2590 claims to be the real Targa racer.
