Thank Tubut interesting info.
Regarding the copy of the article about Disco should be on a Abarth chassis. I was in doubt when posting, and had difficulties in believing it, but the are so many info around, and the cooperation's between the companies here short after the war, was at a level that is not described, so I find every bit of info interesting.
IcarJohn stated the same opinion ,thanks.
The Alfa Romeo 750 Competizione (post 51) is the one that Busso referees to at the predecessor for the TZ. I personally have difficult to believe that is the trough. Maybe the idée for the TZ sprung from the Competizione, but this cars is build on total different philosophy. The engine on the Competizione is a long stroke with a geometry that resembles Alfa design philosophy pre war. The TZ is a development based on Giulietts engine. The chassis design is completely diff. with a box frame for the Competizione and tubes for the TZ.
As I se it ,the TZ is clearly bases Zagato design philosophy inherited from the SVZ-SZ, and there is in my mind no Abarth in it.
Regarding Abarth there is maybe an interesting thing. Abarth did personally test every chassis and car before it was delivered to customers. He didn't relay on his employee in that connection.
This changed completely after Colucci joined Abarth. In the new period. Carlo Abarth didn't find it necessary, to personally test the cars anymore
