Thank you! Solving a Black Hole puzzle is always nice but this one is even more special this way.

Thank you! There are still a lot of unsolved puzzles here. I'll have a go at some of them while waiting for new puzzles.

Amir Achtiani´s letter to the editor as a reaction to an article he read before in the german car magazine Auto Motor & Sport #10/67, Page 28:

Quote
"How to tune up cars"

"You have presented cars several times before, that have been converted by their owners.
For this I don´t want to hide my modified "Alfa 2000" (built in 1960).
To give this sportscar an even slicker and sportier look, I have chopped the roof, lowered the bonnet by 5cm and enlengthened the front end by 10cm.
I also modified the fenders and headlights and cut ventilation ducts in both sides of the fenders.
The result: instead of 175 km/h the car now makes 195 km/h!

Amir Achtiani, Hamburg

Unfortunately I never saw any other photo of this cool Alfa.

And I do know this photo since ca. 2000...
