Yes, it was evidently the same motor. George thought the Alfa Bimotore would be an improvement on his self built GeeCeeEss but he had all kinds of trouble with it and even though he also named it the GeeCeeEss he hated it and soon passed it on. It would now be worth millions.

I have a photo of the Bimotore GeeCeeEss but it is promised to one of the forum subscribers for a possible book on NZ motor sport. It looked a lot smarter than the "old" GeeCeeEss - but looks aren't everything .....
