1955 Bandini Siluro Navigation
This Bandini #358 was built in Forli, Italy, in 1955. It was the last of the Siluro (torpedo) style Bandini, and it was slightly lower and more streamlined than the earlier ones. It was also the only Siluro to have the Series Two, 70 horsepower, twin-cam engine installed.
An American-made Crosley engine powered the early Bandini. This lightweight and compact engine were very versatile, having been used with boats, aircraft, and even fire pumps. It had an aluminum block with five main bearings, a monobloc with two valves per cylinder, gear driven single overhead cam, and more. Bandini immediately began modifying the Crosley engine for racing, including a longer stroke (raising the displacement to 747cc), steel crankshaft, new pistons, camshafts, and an oil pump.
The Bandini raced in the SCCA H Modified Championship in 1955 and 1957 and the SCCA South-West division championship from 1961 until 1963. They also had many victories in different categories on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Bandini produced 75 vehicles, and 45 are known to exist today.
