== Historical notes ==

* Formerly associated with Rosso Bianco Museum

* Strong indication that this car is **not** the Louwman Museum car
* Confusion exists regarding identification as Gianni Lurani’s racing car
* John de Boer’s attribution of 8513016 as another racing 6C 1500 Gran Sport is considered incorrect in current research

----

== Lurani connection (identity under review) ==

Research suggests that the Lurani car:

* Was purchased new by Gianni Lurani
* Received a body of Lurani’s own design built by Campari & Sorniotti
* Underwent numerous developmental mechanical and visual modifications
* Was extensively documented in Lurani’s writings
* Appeared in ''Sports Car World'' (Australia), spring 1931
* Had competed in over a dozen events by early 1931
* Was later reportedly converted to 6C 1750 specification for events near Wiesbaden (where no 1500cc class existed)

It remains unclear whether chassis 851.3016 corresponds to that Lurani car.
