[edit] Romano

I originally labelled the car thus: Romano WE84 (Kaditcha K583). The reason is the car was originally constructed by Australian constructed Barry Locke who refered to all bar one of his cars as a Kaditcha, specifically the Kaditcha K583. Bap Romano was not particularly happy with the car and over the course of a year the car was modified to the extent that little of the originally remained apart from the out-shell bodywork. The work was done by ex-Formula One engineer Wayne Eckersley and Eckersley and Romano relabelled the car as the Romano WE84. Since it was not built as the Romano WE84 I left the original car name in brackets. --Falcadore (talk) 04:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Per the standards I've used on other sportscars results, usually only the original basic chassis constructor is retained in parenthesis. Same for engines. Hence, things like the MG-Lola EX257 engines being named "MG (AER) XP20 2.0L Turbo I4", even though the engines are in fact AER P07s. The359 (talk) 21:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
