Royal Zedel with a pizza past.

Roberto Vellani writes: "We are a small museum in North Italy (San Martino in Rio) and we have to restore this Zedel 10Hp. Probably the car was built in 1908 or 1909, but registered in Rome in 1910. 

The body was made by Carrozzeria Alessio - Turin, but in that time it still had a branch in Rome managed by Mr.Biscaretti di Ruffia (founder of the National car museum in Turin). Possibly the first owner was the Italy's Queen Margherita di Savoia, her name will be remembered forever with the pizza Margherita... We are looking for technical info and support for this Zedel."

Editor:  so if you like to have your name attached to a Zedel with important names attached to it, this is where to jump in!

Do the Italians know that there are two Zedels in the Schlumpf Collection in Mulhouse (1911 en 1912). There is also a Zedel of 1910 in the local history museum in Champlitte, France (Musée départemental des Arts et Technique; this car has been one of the quiz cars on PreWarCar.
I guess it could be helpful to contact these museums.
Kind regards, Fons Alkemade

I have other news!
Restoring the car we see that the original color was electric blu. This color is the color of the royal Italian family Savoia (see http://www.casasavoia.org/ )
