Record:
The car bearing its 1st plate (BS 15073) in a typical Mazzotti environment, i.e. parked next to a Caproni Ca.310 Libeccio, a twin-engine reconnaissance plane, with the insignia of the Regia Aeronautica, on the Ponte San Pietro airfield (Bergamo, Italy). The date of the Millanta shot (June 1940) suggests that the car was already owned by Lana. Probably the license plate MI-73396 was never mounted by the Alfa Romeo dealership and Lana also waited before being able to mount the license plate SV-5912.
