Your turn to set the question rw3200

RW3200 · Sep 14, 2016

Probably an easy one but here goes.

An engineer who worked for Alfa, Ferrari, Lamborghini and ISO formed his own car company in the 60s, what was it called?

I have a slight obsession with Italian motorcycles (and now cars) so know the company.
Sure Innocenti was owned by De Tomaso the same time he had Maserati, or around the same time.

It's based on a 1960 MG Midget but with larger doors built with all Italian components, 70hp 1275 motor!

Nuccio Bertone maybe, he certainly designed cars for the first 3 and I think he was at Iso for a while

Not who I had in mind but you could be right.

The fella I'm after was a prominent engineer on the 250GTO and has a link with Le Mans (why I thought it may be an easy one for this forum).

Is this going to be the 2nd car based questions that the collective knowledge of the forum didnt know the answers for ?

zagatoes30 · Sep 15, 2016

Giotto Bizzarrini sure he was involved with the GTO and ISO but wasn't aware of him being with Alfa but that might be me just going senile

Spot on sir!

I'm sure he started with Alfa and got poached by Ferrari. Also had a hand in development of the Lamborghini V12.
A talented chap by all accounts.

Over to you zagatoes

OK stick with the car theme

What links the 1951 British GP winner with my 1997 Alfa Romeo 155 Q4?

midlifecrisis · Sep 16, 2016

Who ever is was who won it was the first owner of your car?

daverichardson · Sep 16, 2016

The Alfa and the GP are both in Silverstone
That must be right!!

spkennyuk · Sep 16, 2016

Was the winner of the 51 British GP on the design team for the Alfa 155 Q4 ?

BennyD · Sep 16, 2016

Nobody knows who won the 51 GP amd nobodies heard of a 155 Q4?

daverichardson · Sep 17, 2016

Well I am going to cheat and look at who won in 1951

Were they both conceived in Italy

Is the question specific to your own car andy or the alfa 155 q4 as a model in general ?

zagatoes30 · Sep 18, 2016

Ok it's not as simple as both being Italian or both being in Silverstone. It's not specific to my Q4 the same applies to any Q4 and in fact to a number of Fiat out pourings at the time. As far as the 1951 GP winner that can't be hard even for the limited intellect on this forum

BennyD · Sep 18, 2016

Which is most of us!

spkennyuk · Sep 18, 2016

I have no idea who won the 1951 British GP. It was another 20 years until i arrived on the planet

If the same thing applied to other fiat cars at the time then i assume its a design feature or component of the car and the car that won the 51 GP.

Modular plarform or suspension components / type maybe ?

Im speculating as i have no idea.
