LMX SIREX – Sportiva d’autore

The end of the sixties was the golden age of thoroughbred sports cars from Italy, often with powerful but proven engines bought in from overseas. One that is almost forgotten came from Milan and was built only 50 times. This is the story of the LMX Sirex and the people behind the project – car enthusiasts, developers and designers like the legendary Franco Scaglione.
The Sirex was chic, modern and fast, thanks to extremely low weight and the more or less heavily tuned V6 from the German Ford Taunus RS. Technically interesting and with a ravishing exterior was this sports coupé, whose lack of success and soon disappearance into oblivion seems astonishing from today’s perspective.
The book was written by car enthusiast and Sirex collector Renato Montalbano. The result is a meticulously researched documentation, richly illustrated and even including a report on the restoration of a veritable showpiece.
