Jeremy, I remember from the period magazines that the Pianta/Brambilla/Casoni/Capoferri car was referred as T380, apparently it started life as an original 3 litres car, but you cannot trust Italian journalists on matters like non-Ferrari sportscar chassis numbers.
The Manfredini-Casoni 1977 car could be a Gulf Rondini sponsored car, Rondini being the Bergamo area Gulf dealer (and the company that helped Alessandro Pesenti Rossi with his mid-seventies F.1 adventure with Tyrrell), Scuderia CittÃ* dei Mille was from Bergamo too. At the time Capoferri was the Italian Lola importer and played around with various cars (T284, T286), he even built his own chassis, probably based on a Lola, the Capoferri M1.
More in a couple of days, when I reach the magazines, they aren't here with me...
