There was another photo on someone's facebook and it looked REALLY long at the back.  Even longer than I'd expect with that gearbox.  Have I forgotten the nose of the clutch or is there a little prop shaft in there?   

Did you get a peak?

Hope it sounded good...

Here are a couple of other Aurelia based monopostos by Nardi and Brandoli repectively.

These retain the sliding pillar. The others do not?

Saw it yesterday and got a couple of close up photos and a quick word. All I can add to the above and other threads is that the lower wishbones are said to be Alfa 2600.

If I see it again will try and work out how the gear change is done.
