The Alfa engine might have been a 1600cc twin cam for class B racing. George Alderman out of Wilmington, Del also raced one in that livery VERY successfully.

(looked like a type 56) Joe stretched the frame a few inches and installed an Alfa Giulietta motor. Not sure what the displacement turned out the be. Joe was running the car in SCCA formula B. I went with Joe to a race at Connellsville, PA. The car broke down (transaxle I think) Tow car broke down on the way home.
Joe worked at a foreign car shop in Annapolis, MD, Bill Tydings Motors on West Street.
Not sure what ever happened to the Cooper. cheers, Sam Smith
