Quite how the Vildebeest snuck onto that list is a bit of a mystery Sometimes bigger is better. Like Freddy Mercury sang - fat bottom girls make the rockin world go round.

Fairey Fantome -Yes. Vildebeest--No And I forgot the Hawker series of biplanes for elegance and style.

That CR.42 is so gorgeous. A Bf109 must have thought the same and it resulted in the CR.42 DB - a CR42 with a DB 601 Engine. From Wikipedia:

Zac if you are going to stand there coughing all over the place, you'd better get tested. I did, and I don't recommend it. Ever since, if I hear someone say "COVID test" I can feel it in my head!!

Although a radial fan, I do like the CR.42 DB conversion. Something about German engineering and Italian style.

Along with all the other strange voices? I think the swab actually pushed the voices out! Back to Guido's Fiat, I shared the Sahara clip on Facebook and Wayne Milburn commented:

Dug up some old pic’s, copies off slides, of Guido’s Fiat, these where taken not long after he modded her canopy, with out too much effort she could be configured as a single or two seater, sorry for the poor quality.

Found some old, video taped, footage of Guido's Fiat back in the 90s.
