Hm Entries - 1958
Edited 2007-02-20 from iicar files by John de Boer
Note that this is not intended to represent any kind of comprehensive listing or result for all Hm cars in any race. It is derived from notes that I have taken while looking to round out production and historical listings of low-production Italian sports and racing cars. It is what it is and no more. More can certainly be done by going back to the primary files from which this information is taken.
