Pandora did the 1913 FIAT S76 record attempt version as driven by Arthur Duray in Ostend, Belgium:

Neither the 1911 version (Saltburn driven by Pietro Bordino) nor the 1913 version actually improved on the Blitzen Benz record from 1911 as set by Bob Burman.
The only model of the 1911 S76 other than the Dugu is from MCM/Top Queens:

I have the Pandora, but with Ralph Foster having stopped working, I am not certain whether the master for this one also ended up with Howard Statham or SMTS for possible future re-issue.
Maybe worth asking?

I found the Pandora on the LSR in Miniature site. Is that run by Jason Fern?

Not Jason Ferns although many of the pics on the site are his.
It has been a number of years since I have been in touch, and I have forgotten who it was that set up and still runs the site.
Jason is the gent who purchased the old Piccolino masters and has been improving these and reissuing old ones while at the same time creating new masters under the HB Models name.
Unfortunately these are in 1:76 scale!
In the meantime this line has been acquired by Pat Land from Model Assemblies who is planning to make them available again.
