It`s an all steel hand made body, a reduced replica of the oldest and most popular argentine race car category, called TC ( Turismo Carretera ). Racing since 75 years, in the begining most of the tracks were open road, with some amazing races like Buenos Aires-Caracas, covering in 1948 amost 10000 km in less than 119 hs, across deserts, mountains, with just a little parts of pavement roads.

OOOOH, I love those vintage stock cars. I wonder has fast that car is with that 60HP flatmotor? Walt
Sadly, this little beast is one of a kind, the real cars ( 1 :1 scale ) and men of the 40´s to the early 60´s that raced down here are almost gone. The average speeds ( sometimes over 200 km/h ) on open roads with electrical posts, railroads, animals, ditches, refueling on board with the co- pilot catching gas cans added to a kind of round handle from an assistant standing on the side of the road, in many cases without seat belts, makes you think that races of today are a joke.
