Anzani factory racer 1920s Italian Grand Prix Monza photo photograph

Description

A superb and rare photo of the
1923
Anzani factory racer with driver Odorici at the Italian Prix at Monza.
In the UK, British Anzani outsourced the manufacture of their engines to
Coventry Ordnance Works Ltd
. In the 1920s, it was refinanced as British Vulpine Engine Company, and then again as British Anzani Engineering Company, concentrating on small engines and car and motorcycle powerplants. They supplied
AC Cars
with the 1496cc
side-valve
four-cylinder (that would become AC's famous 2-litre motor),
Frazer-Nash
with a 1496cc side valve engine, (latterly supercharged)
Morgan Motor Company
with a
V-twin
, and
Squire
with the R1
twin cam
engine.
Berkeley Cars
used small Anzani motorcycle engines in some models. British Anzani's best known products were motorcycle,
lawnmower
and
outboard engines
.
Cotton
,
Tandon
and
Greeves
motorcycles used Anzani motors.
In later years, the company diversified. In the years after
World War II
, the company's main product was the 'Iron Horse' - a two-wheeled pedestrian-controlled ploughing engine and light tractor. In time, four-wheeled versions with the driver sitting on the front of the vehicle were produced. The company became the British Anzani Group, and was trading under that name when it went into liquidation in 1980.
