Good morning,

 

I am long time reader of this forum, but just now registered. I am not history specialist in racing, but definitely interested in about it.

 

Is in this anyone who have more information about entry number 357 in Mille Miglia 1949? Drivers are Bosi/Vicis and class T+1.1.

 

I haven't managed to find any photos of this car, so I would be very interested in to see at least one. I assume car is Traction Avant, but I can't be sure. Car is always referred just Citroen.

 

Any further information welcomed.

According to the Racing Sports Cars site Bosi and Vincis (or Vicis) drove a Citroën in the Mille Miglia in 1947, 1948 and 1949, listed as a Citroën 15 in 1948:

There’s a photo of the car in 1948 (found here) seen behind the winning Ferrari of Biondetti/Navone:



It seems likely that they used the same car (or one like it) in 1949, but this is obviously just speculation.

Thank you! So likely this is same car as previous years.
