In loving memory of Dr. Ing. Sergio Sartorelli (1928-2009).
Updated Jul 07, 2010 - see what's new in the bottom of this page.

Welcome to my Ford OSI 20m TS homepage. This page is about the OSI 20m TS with everything related with it and is specially dedicated to Dr. Ing. Sergio Sartorelli, the OSI 20m TS designer.

I would like to thank dozens of readers from around the world that write me in a regular basis with informations of another found OSI or simply another press article about the car. The German and French friends are specially active. I also would like to welcome any reader to mail me with his questions - no mail will be unanswered. And please sign my guestbook.

The OSI Registry section has now more than 80 cars. Thank you all for helping.

Special thanks to Oliver Franz and Thomas Pinkert for their constant support.

Ronald Stap - The Netherlands - EX54GP02508

Originally white, 2,3 litre engine.
Ronald bought this car along with another one, the brown EX54HL03040. Both were imported from France. This one had been restored, but not very well. It was bought by a Dutch trader near Utrecht from garage Vitesse in Pont d'Ucel, in France. It was bought together with the brown one which had been rescued from a French scrapyard. Ronald started the restoration of the yellow until he was able to buy the much better red one (EX54Gx02416) in 2000. Since then, this car is waiting for further restoration.

Originally registered in Italy in July 30, 1968, this one is now in the Netherlands.
It has the 2,3 litre engine and it keeps it's original red color. It was imported from Italy by a Dutch trader (Jansen Classic Cars in Harderwijk). It needed some attention and it is back on the road since 2003. The first owner was Emilio Parigi in Arezzo.

Originally from France, this one was dismantled. It had the 2,3 litre engine and was blue.

The VIN has the HL letters which means it is the latest chassis produced by Ford I ever reported, September 1968. Ronald has the EX54Gx02416 and the EX54GP02508. The OSI addiction started when Ronald read an story about the car in a Dutch classic car magazine (Automobiel). He was very impressed and thought that he should buy such car whenever he could. Ronald has been living in Delft which is close to de Lier where Joop Stolze keeps his huge collection of classic cars. He visited Stolze a couple of times and he saw my OSI there, some 10-15 years ago.

Great news, everyone!
