Bandini 750 sport internazionale
Encyclopedia
The Bandini 750 international sport also called simply "Saponetta", is a racing car
built from 1957 until 1961 by Bandini Cars

This new type of car, prepared for categria 750 sports, replaced the production of "sport torpedo. The adjective International wanted to pay tribute to the merits collected from overseas 750 sports torpedo
while "Saponetta" (little bar of soap) is the name under which it was identified by the same Ilario Bandini
for its forms, similar to those of just a bar of soap.
As the model which replaced the bar of soap was much in demand USA where it was used both as auto racing that as "out of range" to be submitted to the streets in the city.
His debut in the race dates back to Mille Miglia

Despite the successes are not missing in USA and races uphill and Italian circuit, the " little bar of soap" initially paid the rapid evolution of regulation in a short time saw the rise of engine capacity to 850 cc and then to 1000 cc. However proved a car fast and successful, able to express themselves at high levels even with higher displacements collecting victories with Gene Parsons, James Eichenlaub (both ex aequo vicechampion U.S. SCCA in 1958), Dave Lang (third in the final classification 1961 with only four races: three first and second place), Skip Callanan, Paul Richards, Victor Lukens, Jack Connolly, Giorgio Cecchini and Ilario Bandini circuit and up until 1965. Wins's most prestigious given that many car competitors had engine at the rear; choice desitnata to influence the entire motor sports.
