Notes

Originally identified as just the 'Tipo 4C' and then the 'Tipo 4CTR" - the 'C' for 'corsa' or 'racing' and the 'TR' for 'testa riporta' or removable cylinder head - the car made its debut at Monza in racing version in 1931.  The 'Tipo 4CM' following that debut became the race version and the 'Tipo 4CS 1100' the sports version for events such as the Mille Miglia which it won four times in record times involving drivers such as Tuffanelli (1932) and Taruffi (1934) and Ettore Bianco in 1935 and 1936. Some photographs of the Moris Bergamini car of this period are shown below. A brilliant "one-off' production prototype in the form of a yellow spyder was built by Brianza bodyworks and presented at the Milan Auto Show in 1932.
