1950's H modified barn find

[DanielRapley]

I am looking for information on the H modified Fiat special below.

It raced on the east coast as a Crosley powered H modifed in the 50's and probably raced in Italy with a Fiat Topolino 500 engine. .



As raced in the early 50's.




As found 2 weeks ago after 40+ years in a horse barn.





Here is what I know

It was sold as a Giaur, not sure if Giaur made the car or Nardi, Siata or another etceterini manufacturer.

Late 40's - early 50's ; built and raced in Italy. Based on Fiat parts (some early Alfa bits also).

Early 50's ; Imported to the USA by Tony Pompeo of New York.

1950/51; Sold to Frank Dominianni, who raced the car at East Coast venues. Fiat Engine tossed and repowered with a Crosley.

Mid 50's; Sold into the vastness of America.

I am particularly interested in any Italian history the car may have.

Any info, or suggestions on Italian websites, discussion groups, email groups that could assist would be welcomed.


Cheers,

Daniel
