Donkeys years ago I watched a film of the Fraser Nash clubs trip to Italy called a raid on Stelvio Pass. The Italian police closed the road for them & went to escort them up. On the first hair pin bend, the police Alfas were spinning the inside wheel, the FN’s with the solid axle shot up the inside leaving the police very embarrassed. The film would be mid 60’s from memory.

My dad had one. It was a lovely car, really comfortable on long journeys and it didn't hang about either as I recall.
