Hi All

That has to be the Bora, but Bora was also used by an English race car in
the mid 1960s I believe.  Also, copyrights are interesting things.  Common
names symbols etc. can not be copyrighted or used as trademarks.  Notice how
many GTs, Grand Tourismos, Grand Touring cars exist, also, a U.S. court
rejected a company using the peace symbol as a trademark for the same
reason.  There is a story that FIAT called their V8 engine the 8V because
they believed that Ford owned the name V8.
