This was a Old cars rally, last weekend, in the mountains nearby Rio de Janeiro. If you look the upper left photo you will find a 911 with some cows. Behind the scene, there is a green XK 120 which is mine, and I am taking also a photo, with the camera above the windscreen.

The overall winner was that Hudson Pacemaker. Three curiosities are the white car - a Torino - an argentinian car very rare in Brazil, with a very good sporting records. The other is the yellow Alfa Romeo, a replica made in Aluminium, also built in Argentina, and finally, the white car behind the Hudson, a brazilian made sports car, which is a DKW-Malzoni, a victory winner in the sixties (with 2 stroke engines).

There were 31 cars, including 4 for Coupe de Dames. We rode about 500 km Friday and Saturday.

I got a word from one of the boys in the photo, nowadays he is 62 tears old. I believe he is there at 8, so that the photo was taken around 54-55.

He swared the car is a Fiat with a second name which could be, as re remembers, Fiat Isabella, Fiat Isadora, or Fiat Fiorella.

There is no chance to be a brazilian production, so it must be an Italian made. The little badge just after the front wheel is much alike the italian "carrozieri" were used to do.
