After World War 2, there were numerous small sports car brands in Italy. Especially in the field of the so-called Etceterini cars with engines of less than one liter capacity, there were various vehicles. Technical components and chassis from Fiat often served as the basis. Ilario Bandini founded his company in 1946 in his hometown of Forl\u00ec. He used tubular chassis made of aviation steel and formed aluminium bodies over them by hand. From the beginning of the 1950s, demand for his sports cars increased. In particular, sporting successes with the Siluro model in the SCCA championship in the USA ensured this. In addition, there were victories at the Mille Miglia and good class results at the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Daytona. Ilario Bandini liked to drive his race cars himself. Thus, he took part in more than 60 racing events on tracks and hillclimbs. In the classes up to 750 cc and up to one liter displacement, he took 19 victories and 18 podium finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car designer until death<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Until the 1960s, the sports cars were successful worldwide. In addition, there were victories with a Formula Junior car, which was presented in 1959 and continuously developed. Ilario Bandini continued to build one-offs and small series well into the 1980s. In the process, the engines grew up to 1.5 liters. His final creation was the 1000 Turbo 16V from 1992. A few weeks after its debut, he died at the age of 80. At the same time, the company’s history came to an end. To this day, there has been no attempt at revival. As a result, the legendary reputation couldn’t be damaged either. His hometown renamed a central square Bandini Plaza ten years later. In his former workshop, the Bandini family now maintains a small museum with ten Bandini racing cars as well as the Bandini Archive. The latter has all production data and drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n
