  only Alpha Le Mans I am aware of would be the Porches of 198x, mine 
was way before that.

   My car pre-dates the Alfa Le Mans by 4 years

  The Aston-Martin Le Mans is the correct time frame, I think the 
first Aston Le Mans was 1933 could be 1932, I am too lazy to look it up.

   A Singer Le Mans of course is what I own, there were at least 3 
British manufacturers using the name "Le Mans" in 1934 and one French 
manufacturer.  The first Singer Le Mans was before the Aston-Martin 
or the same year if Aston came out in 1932 with the name.  Bentley's 
Le Mans was 1934 or 1935, I have seen 34 Bentley Le Mans but I was 
also told the first use of the name officially was 1935.
