The maroon car is claimed by its owner to be a Le Zebre fitted with a Curtis engine, which is stretching the truth, as it was previously sold, in this form, as being a special built from 'a Curtis OX-5 aero-engine mounted in a pre-WW1 Amilcar chassis - the latter serves as a sub-frame that is in turn mounted in a pre-WW1 Peugeot chassis'. Which is all very strange, and must have got Amilcar enthusiasts excited, since Amilcar didn't exist pre-WW1! As for the Le Zebre connection, that's probably no more than a couple of nuts and bolts.
