vehicles

The only model was a replica of the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport from 1929. The ladder frame and wheel suspension corresponded roughly to the original, so a modern chassis was by no means used. Even the disc brakes were hidden under dummies that looked like contemporary drum brakes . A four-cylinder engine from an Alfa Romeo provided the drive . The engine came from either the Alfa Romeo 1750 cc with 1779 cubic capacity or the Alfa Romeo Alfetta with 2000 cc capacity. The Alfetta's five-speed gearbox was mounted in a transaxle design on the rear axle.
