In case you're wondering - the blunt end is the front!
It was apparently to have a 60-degree UNSUPERCHARGED, AIR-COOLED V12 engine, with twin ohc, two valves per cylinder and three carbs. Bore and stroke are quoted at 79*100mm, engine weight just 265 kilos.
It also seems to have been a proto-monocoque "the whole car being part of a singular tubular steel backbone", with a wheelbase of 2.55 metres and a track of 1.39 metres.
It was alleged to be testing shortly, with an entry planned for Tripoli on May 12th. However, there is no sign of it on the entry list in Sheldon, the only non-arrivals being Howe's Maserati and Lehoux' SEFAC (inevitably).
Now, as we know, stories like this circulate all the time, but this has a more definite source than most - none other than Johnny Lurani.
So, was it real, or just rumour? Did it run? If so, does it still exist? Or what happened to it?
