    WHY I CALL THIS 88 "AQUILA" ?
    MISTER AQUILA WAS THE AURORA OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTOR FOR THE NAPLES CITY AND ASKED TO AURORA
    TO PRODUCED A SPECIAL VERSION (FULL GOLD OVERLAY) OF THE AURORA 88 BECAUSE THE CLASSIC MODEL
    WITH GOLD PLATED CAP AND BLACK BARREL DIDN'T HAVE THE CONSENT OF THE NAPLES PEOPLE.
    TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE LOW SALES AURORA PRODUCED BEFORE A LITTLE NUMBER OF
    88 FIRST TYPE "AQUILA" AND AFTER THE 88K "AQUILA" (THE AQUILA SERIES ARE THE ONLY VERSION OF
    THE 88 AND 88K AND 888 COMPLETELY GOLD PLATED).
    BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF PRODUCTION, THE AQUILA VERSION WAS PRODUCED IN FEW PIECES,
    IS CALCULATED IN NO MORE THAN 3000 EXEMPLARY OF AURORA 88 , 88K , 888 & 88 DUO-CART
    THE FINAL AQUILA MODEL , WAS THE 88 DUO-CART & 888 MADE IN 500 PIECES , 200 OF THIS PRODUCTION
    WAS the FIRST 88 Duo Cart
