I have the actual edition of the newspaper...and I know Rod....but have to confess we do get fed up of that old chestnut regarding the tractor thing...the guzzi engine was designed for a competition set by Fiat to design a motor to power the Topolino......the basic design was shelved until Guzzi decided to produce a v twin motorcycle is all...
A transverse v twin is just that....be it Guzzi , Honda or Panther....etc etc......just a question of configuration...like a Laverda, Triumph or Yamaha........
 
Fairing?

we used to drag race a Fiat Topolino in A/Altered class back in the late 70's
damn, that is showing my age, difference with ours though was it had a 454 Injected Chev big block in it, had to climb in through the roof
ah, those were fun days
 
Fiat Topolino (Topolino= mouse, cause it looked like one...) was my father's first car. He said he had a lot of trouble with it, never purchased a FIAT ever again in his live and also told us: "I don't mind which cars you buy, as long as its not a FIAT.

I had 2 Minis. No better in terms of reliability, but so much more fun to drive... :D
