The Isotta Fraschini was Italy's prestige car, just as Rolls-Royce was Britain's and the Hispano-Suiza France's.
All were rivals and each claimed the title of 'best car in the world'.
Founded in Milan in 1899 by partners Cesare Isotta and Vincenzo Fraschini, Isotta-Fraschini started out as Renault agents and exhibited the first car of its own, a single-cylinder, 5hp model, at the 1901 Milan Expo.
The company was soon making a name for itself in competition and would continue to enjoy success for many years.
In June 1902 Vincenzo's brother Oreste Fraschini took 2nd place in the Sassi-Superga Hillclimb while six years later the marque scored a resounding victory in the tough Targa Florio race and took 2nd place in the Vanderbilt Cup.
In 1913 three Isotta Fraschinis were entered in the Indianapolis 500 race, becoming the first cars with four-wheel brakes to compete in that event.
Records show that among the Isotta Fraschini drivers in 1920 was a young Italian named Enzo Ferrari.
