Eye wateringly expensive estimate, but just for interest, here is a link to it...

www.classic-auctions.com/Auctions/19-04-...iumaCorsa-34581.aspx

It seems to have quite a history, Surtees, Ainscoe et al. I have an article by Alan Cathcart where he states his preference for the trellis framed road going Nuovo Saturno over and above the beam framed Piuma version. I'll take his word for it, stick with my standard ones and forego a bid this time round!

I stumbled on this while researching a Sanglas 400 of all things!

:S like always.
Piuma has nothing to do with Puma.
It could be translated as light.
Light as a feather, but always expensive like Gold :(

Next problem would be to bring it on the road. As far as i know the have no frame number and papers, as they have only been thought for track use.

ciao Joachim

There are photos of Sal's Piuma on the members' machines page. I *think* she used to have it on the road back in the late 90's. It would have been easier to do then (in the UK at least).
