Used a different link
A lot of the cars post war in Europe had low power engines. That was pretty low even then. Although the Renaut 2CV was rate around 9-10 hp.

"Sounds like a charming visit to the Dolomites! Even with limited time, it must have been wonderful to experience the scenery and the atmosphere with some old-timers around."

We had 6 days with our old house partners. I would advise shoulder season. Where we were must be crazy in the winter and the summer.
