Vittorio Sorgato (one 'T'  ;) ) was from Castelletto di Senago.
His car was going to be fitted with a fiberglass body and had a 3CV engine powered by compressed air.
More than 70km of endurance and a top speed of 30km/h. All in 500kg at an estimated cost of 1.000.000 lire in 1974 plus 300.000 lire for the compressor.
Same year a brand new 127 was 1.433.000.
His vehicle was shown 2 times at Turin Auto Show and was featured in a famous italian TV show.
