Exclusive - The story and rediscovery of the  Alfer and scorpa prototypes

But the engine in the production air cooled Alfer ?
 
This was a standard vila engine. Did vila use the changes you and Albert made and incorporate them into the production engines ?

 
The only modifications we make was because the Villa engine but it was  very very noisy considering the tolerance. We’d been working with tolerance and counter weights, we talked to them about changing little things but in the end I think they changed nothing  and the changes we make just stay here. We made pieces with less tolerance but vila did not adopt this. They were happy with their engine and every change is very expensive.


When you went to Austria did you make changes to the engine?.

Yes we make changes to everything. We arrive and ask them to change and make many things and they make these changes for us very fast.Of course…When we went to Austria they were really well behaved because they did everything that we asked them to.  In 2 or 3 hours what we asked of them was finished .A new crank was made for us  2 or 3 hours complete …..it was incredible. Then we test .

In fact this 2nd prototype never saw the light of day. A decision was made fairly early on to change the chassis .

Although they had fabricated a complete motorcycle chassis and reconfigured an Enduro engine for Trials, the team were not hapy with the chassis and started from scratch once again !.
