Realpha RE1 1965

Qui c'è un bel mistero... Alcuni siti riportano la sua morte a prima del Gp del Sud Africa del 1965, altri invece al maggio del 1970 in un incidente aereo dove persero la vita anche i suoi 3 figli. Si dice anche che stesse volando senza nessuna autorizzazione (era lui ai comandi)... Suicidio? È morto nel 65 o nel 70? Mistero......

Ci sarebbe da dire anche sul nome "ReAlpha"

In realtà la vettura è denominata R.E. Alfa 

dalle iniziali di  Ray's Engineering il team di Ray Reed

 

This Alfa was built by Ray Reed of Ray's Engineering, Gwelo, hence the RE in the name. The chassis and general suspension is based on the LDS Cooper, fitted with a modified Alfa engine. Ray entered the car in the 1965 South African Grand Prix, but did not take part. After Peter crashed in the car during the 1966 Rhodesian Grand Prix, Ray bought back the remains with the intention of building a sports racing car. Ray was killed in an aircraft accident on 8 May 1970 near Nottingham Road in South Africa. The car is belived to have been stored by Ivan Bull in Bulawayo - Later acquired by Lew Baker then Dave Alexander - The restoration of this car was started by either Lew or Dave and then completed by a new owner.
