Black hole I'm coming...

Giveaway week:

The name of this man was the same of a very famous man from Rome.
The surname is an italian word for "not fast".

Nero Lento

?

Paul Jaray · March 30, 2010, 11:23:06 AM

Not Nero (but the era is right), 'Lento' (that is singular...) is very close....

Julius Lenti

?

Paul Jaray · March 31, 2010, 02:55:39 AM

Lenti is correct.
Not 'Julius', but 2 names...not very far

Allan L · March 31, 2010, 02:58:47 AM

Oh, of course it must be Septimus Severus Lenti.

Paul Jaray · March 31, 2010, 03:16:03 AM

None of these names end with an 's'.
One of them was an adjective (Not 'Massimo'), the other was one of the most known at all!

Janus?

Paul Jaray · March 31, 2010, 12:36:25 PM

Janus you said?
Considering that there should be 2 names, none of them ending with 's', one of them is an adjective...you are quite close!

Just kidding, no Janus and not close.

...

Paul Jaray · April 27, 2010, 07:04:39 AM

This one is almost solved...just give me the name of the man, that is the same of the well known Roman above (2 names C-A) and I can put this to rest!

Caesar Augustus?

...but you got it right.
He was not from ancient Rome, of course, then the name should not be in Latin....

Caesar Augusta?

Paul Jaray · April 27, 2010, 05:02:39 PM

Nope.

guido66 · April 27, 2010, 05:22:26 PM

Cesare Augusto

Paul Jaray · April 27, 2010, 05:29:52 PM

Cesare Augusto Lenti was the man behind this SPA 8000 equipped with a modified Bagnulo 'testa calda' 40cv engine in 1923-24, made in the Officine Pietro Collo, in Turin.

guido66 · April 27, 2010, 05:31:55 PM

This was a tough nut to crack

Paul Jaray · April 27, 2010, 05:35:01 PM

I read all 4 pages just to realize that you were the one who got: the engine, the chassis and the builder's name (with a big help by ftg3plus4).
Those are 2 points for the perseverance!
Bravo!
