Interesting, but I've different info about this car.

Maybe they took some Seat parts as well, but I don't know for sure. The engine is definetely not from Seat.

The engine is indeed Seat! The magazine feature you posted says so (third column).
Also according to Pablo Gimeno Valledor (Los Seat 124 & 1430) the "barchetta Adidas" was built by Léon de Cos using Renault 8 components, including the engine, but after the first racing season (1971) de Cos replaced the French engine with a Seat twin-cam tuned by the Italian specialist Conrero.

I'm sorry if I didn't give you the right facts. I admit that it had been better to replace the word "definetely" with "to my best knowledge", as my Spanish is quite rudimentary. Knowing that it was equipped with a Renault engine was sufficient for me and I stopped the search for more possible powerplants.
Yes, I have to amit I even do not now the complete race history of this car...
Forgive me!

No problem: we are only playing!
But maybe you could send me a good picture of this car, if you have it...  ...it could be useful for something I'm writing...

Is it any better?
