You won't believe this, but I didn't notice that massive Alfa badge when I selected and posted the puzzle photo! Age is creeping up on me.

So, yes. Alfa power, but your other answers were way out.

The builders originally came from Italy, but the car was not built there, and did not race there.

You hit the hot spot! It shouldn't take long now - who built it?

D-type · June 08, 2014, 12:34:01 PM

It was built by the Costa brothers from Kitwe, Zambia. As far as I can ascertain it was simply named "Alfa Romeo Special". Raced at Ndola, Zambia
