with chassis #2533 was made in 1956 (or 1957) and was used by Maserati in 1957. This chassis then went to Lance Reventlow for Team Scarab F1 cars of 1960 and 1961 and was painted in a light blue metallic with some small white and dark blue highlights (like that used on the F1 Scarabs) And this was the chassis used by Alan Mann Racing and then to McQueen for the Le Mans movie.
So it appears that the Norev versions cover two different Fiat transporter chassis, the 1956/57 chassis #2533 noted above and a 1960 chassis being used by Maserati in 1960-1961 and then to JCB Racing and Piper. To further confuse things, Exoto made 1-43 versions of Fiat 306/2's in John Wolfe Racing (dark blue with yellow letters, in 1968) and Jagermeister (orange in 1971).
Confusing......
