I would like to suggest that an Alpine with an Alfa Romeo engine should be called not an AlRo, but an Alp-o.

Before the Tiger, Rootes was looking for some other engine possibility for
the Alpine to address its need for power.  A deal was in the works with
Ferrari for an Alfa Romeo engine.  If I recall correctly, Enzo and  Lord
Rootes were on friendly terms and a deal was essentially reached, but
Ferrari backed out.  In honor of that history, someone really should get
this engine and do an Alger -or maybe Alpine-Romero or AlRo.
