During the early years of racing history, race cars were mostly driven around under their own power. But with the rules becoming more and more restrictive for automobiles on public roads, this type of self-transportation was just not feasible for race cars anymore. Hence came the need for race car transporters during the 1950s and 1960s. Today those vehicles are being rediscovered as witnesses to a wondrous racing era. Built with Bartoletti bodywork in 1957, the Fiat 642 RN2 might well be one of the most famous transporters of those days. Scuderia Ferrari and Scuderia Maserati had decided on an essentially identical vehicle for transporting their race cars. The major difference between the two transporters was just the paintwork and decals. Both vehicles were mounted on a bus-chassis of the same type from Fiat, on top of which the coachbuilder of Bartoletti installed an open deck that allowed three race cars to be carried on it.
\nThe transporter, which was equipped with a 92 hp six-cylinder diesel in-line-engine, was actually much more than just a means of transporting race cars. For its race team, the vehicle was also a work center with living quarters and crew space. Beside the race cars, the vehicle carried tools and spare parts for the whole weekend. Even a small workshop was included. In addition, a foldaway bed was provided for the crew.
