Was a well know car looks as if the Samson engine has been replaced with an Aprilia one. Title: Re: Augusta special Post by: frankxhv773t on 28 February, 2024, 01:00:05 PM That's Augusta front suspension, isn't it? I have pictures of a 1936 Augusta Cabriolet with that style top end to the engine so could it all be late Augusta running gear?
