Giveaway week:

The name of this man was the same of a very famous man from Rome.
The surname is an italian word for "not fast".

Not Nero (but the era is right), 'Lento' (that is singular...) is very close....

Lenti is correct.
Not 'Julius', but 2 names...not very far

None of these names end with an 's'.
One of them was an adjective (Not 'Massimo'), the other was one of the most known at all!

Janus you said?
Considering that there should be 2 names, none of them ending with 's', one of them is an adjective...you are quite close!

Just kidding, no Janus and not close. ;D

This one is almost solved...just give me the name of the man, that is the same of the well known Roman above (2 names C-A) and I can put this to rest!

...but you got it right.
He was not from ancient Rome, of course, then the name should not be in Latin....

I read all 4 pages just to realize that you were the one who got: the engine, the chassis and the builder's name (with a big help by ftg3plus4).
Those are 2 points for the perseverance!
Bravo!
