About Wookey story (comments and discussion)

@ Philippe
thanks for the advice, surely my car will have a V8 Alfa Romeo made at plants in Pomigliano D'Arco (Alfasud), probably with a Brawner Hawk IV's frame...


@ Miguel
The P142 is definitely your

Wow ! Why would not you say Brawner Hawk was an inspiration for an Italian engineer and call it whatever you like ?
This fantastic design deserve you own the merit for yourself I LOVE it

That's a beautiful car. Just exotic enough to be fun, but totally in period to be credible. I wish you good luck with it.

It's an honour and a pleasure Thank you very much for beautiful livery and making Len Terry's dream come true (more important then mine)

1969 F1 Season
Team: Scuderia Centro Sud SCS01
Design: Pininfarina
Engine: Alfa Romeo V8
Drivers: Mennella - Whebè
Main sponsor: Caffè Kenon
Nationality: Italy (Naples)

I'm speechless Everything is consistent. Looks like parallel to the Sigma, Pininfarina turned to designing a true winning-able F1. And a beautiful one indeed !

In Avignon, our small teams is elaborating specifications of our needs for 1969, both engine and chassis.

This crude 2D model have been sent to DSC asking them about the possibility to evolve the chassis for next year, around a revised, more compact Citroen V12 to be produced by Maserati grossly around the specifications of the Matra.



Revised nose in W shape, Matra cloned Citroen rebadged engine and 1969 style rear wing.

Another design is under elaboration with side flanks a la Brawner Hawk but I'm unable to draw it.

The idea of a W shaped nose comes from my cousin Marc who advocated for a "brand" design to be kept for marketing reasons through all future models to enhance brand image and allow promotional items to evolve around that brand concept. It is also related to the double chevron (V shaped) of Citroen.

Ho, I think it misses an O in the BOITE de VITESSE French version....

Please accept my apologizes.... I did not re read before sending.

Watching the front and rear wings of the Tyrrell 008 and Ferrari 312T3 perhaps the wings are more aggressive in the "V" version ...
