And best of all, the owner of the car in the link I posted likes to drive that car on the road. In fact, in 2012 the owner did a remarkable feat in that priceless car. He drove it from Germany (where the owner lives), through Belgium, France, loaded it to the channel train to UK, then once in the UK, drove it to a race track where he entered it in a historic race meeting, raced it there, WON the race, and once the race meeting is finished, drove it back home again!

All car manufacturers have problems and defective units as well as good cars. What you commented was indeed false and cliché.

I took it whenever they would let me, it was the most awful riding, noisiest old thing and a handful to drive. But I found it fun, and I think it made me a better driver. Thanks Jay.

I have been doing research on his car and racing for my Dad's 70th, and this video will be a real treat for him. Not sure if it is sacrilege, but he did modify his with 4 rear back tires for a mountain road race. I believe he won. Thank you!

There were more people who came from Italy than from Spain to Argentina, making up a total of 40-45% of its immigrant population (against about 30% from Spain), making culture in Argentina mostly influenced by Italians. Even the name, Argentina, is Italian and it means 'made of silver'. Also the spanish spoken in Argentina sounds more Italian than Spanish.

    Kyong Hansen firing order I believe is close to or the same as a Ford V8. The Alfa Montreal was a 2.6l dohc V8 and had the same firing order as a Ford V8. This engine is basically two 1.3l bolted together unlike the V8 which people say it's two engines but really it was designed and casted as a whole new engine. It would be awesome recreating the straight 8 with modern Alfa 2.0L engines

    Schluesselmensch I was sitting here thinking Jano had a good look at a Miller motor before he designed his engine. But Miller had a good look at the Peugeot engine before he designed his stuff. And honestly I wonder if Leo Gossen wasn't the inspired one of the group. Engineers were stealing from one another back then, and still are I suppose. I read somewhere that Bugatti bought two Miller race cars and pretty much copied the engine for his race car. I'm not much on hot rods, but I'd love to have one with a Miller or an Offy in it. Just think of the money you'd save on head gaskets.

    ihateliberals hondas can be fun. People poop on them for no reason. I had a crx that was swapped with a newer vtec engine and that thing was so much fun in the mountains. It was just so light it felt like a go kart. And it was just begging for more rpm, it would rev all day. Jay has a honda s600 that he loves, but he wont get into the other classic hondas of the 1990s. He'd love the s2000, or even the simplicity of the crx.

    I'm sold on it. The price is pretty significant though. Singer money for a car like this just doesn't come out right somehow. Pur Sang replicates everything the factory did; Singer comes up with a lot of their own, bespoke parts, and they still go for about the same money, or even less. As much as I love this Alfa, it would be hard to write the check.

He was tailing Achile Varzi -- and surprised him , overtaking him at a top speed of 170 Kms. And Tazio won the race. As Jay mentioned, they were unbelievable

    That sound is a supercharger whine. Had a motorcycle with a supercharger, nothing like it in the world. Many moderns have superchargers, but you are insulated from the mechanicals. On a bike, and in this Monza open cockpit you get the full effect. Never heard of this company, nor the replicas. Jay is right! A bargain at any price..... O. And second, this is a replica of a race car? With lights and mirrors? I know they are easily removed, but point of history: Did they race with them like that? (rules) or did they race them and also flog them for sale to the public? 1932, who knows? Third, I"ve been clicking on JL garage for 10 years..... never caught this one. Fantastic video!!
