News has broken of a 6 legged dog which has had an operation to reduce its complement of limbs to the more conventional four . I mentioned to my chum that an opportunity had been missed to leave it with six legs  , respray it yellow and call it AGIP . He suggested spraying it blue and calling it  P34 ...

 respray it yellow and call it AGIP

You'd never see it against the sign though.

The pictures seem to show it having 4 back legs so P24 would be more appropriate. Neither March nor Williams made the 2/4 configuration work so it'll probably do better in more conventional form.

I've not seen a picture but were the 4 back legs in the Shelsley Type C ( Sorry, type 37 ) Auto Union layout ?

It was a Farley Mk.II. At least that's how the sport of kings would see it.

I think the Williams version did have some serious potential, didn't it?

 

However, I believe in this recent canine example, the two extra rears didn't have the appropriate musculature to be fully functional - so if anything it was more like the March version when it was demonstrated to the press.

 

(The sad part is that the poor dog had been abandoned.)

 

I believe the somewhat odd AGIP emblem was the result of a competition; but the Italian motoring scene has many emblems of feisty animals.

Ferrari tested a twin rear wheel 312T2, sponsored by AGIP.
