Moving on to the four wheels, however, the legendary single-seater Maserati 420M “Eldorado” is visible, which took to the track at the 500 1958 Miglia di Monza with Stirling Moss who showed off one of the first and historic sponsored liveries, as remembered; therefore also the Marcos GT “Xylon” on which Jackie Stewart, the future three-time Formula 24 world champion, made his debut on 1961 September 1.

Given the special ASI homologation session, the official delivery to engineer Giampaolo Dallara of the "Targa Oro" will take place for the certification of the first car he built: the SP1000. A characteristic centrally driven "sport three-seater" deployed in the race in 1972. Today it is present at the Dallara Academy as evidence of the construction experience of this reality.
