A strange ALFA for you history specialists.

Oh, please! Who really cares whether the auction was at Parc des Expositions or Porte Maillot. The fact is, the sale WAS timed to coincide with Retromobile.

I've never posted in reply to one of your posts before, but your pedantry is extremely tiresome and immature.

I know the 'history' between yourself and Stu Schaller, but, seriously, enough is enough!

Why do you always have to have the last word? Very puerile!

Some explanation can be found here:

The reason Vittorio Jano had for helping Jankovits with an engine could be strictly business and interest in the project. Or, as it is well known(in Hungary) that Jano had hungarian origins as was the Jankovits brothers from Fiume, which was a hungarian port until 1920. Maybe a little hungarain connections also did help getting the Alfa engine for this project?
