Franz Koob - Old guy from germany,that specially loves Fiat 128,keeping busy with racing on Bergcups (Hill Climb) and slalom races,in his age is surely magnificent.
He used to drive yellow Fiat 128 Berlina 2 door.
Equipped with inline 4, 1116cc 8V SOHC Lampredi engine,producing 135hp @ 11000RPM. Don't know the exact details,but he obviously has Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection with 4 throttle bodies.Heavy modified lightweight internals,and huge duration cams with huge amount of lift.
All this combined with 4 speed close ratio gearbox,makes the car go insanely fast for it's small engine.

Now he drives Fiat 128SC that is 50kg lighter than his 128 Berlina(don't know the actual weight of the cars).

It may be nothing special for you,but i admire this old guy and the fact that he kept the 1116 instead going for the 1285 engine. (bigger engines like 1400 and more don't pass the homologation for klassische Bergcup rennen since the cars were originally equipped only with 1116 and 1290 engines).
