GTV 2000 Nice to se you on this tread.
I am sorry to state ,reading you post, one can easily get the impression that you didn't read my Post.

I Wrote:
I fully agree that the 6C2500 book by Anselmi is a terrific book, yes, its the best on 6C 2500 serie and the pictures is of extreme good quality. I don't disagree in the superlative statement on either of you DR or Freccia.
But I accept that the content of any given book is up to the editor, and the editors right.


So in my interpretation I don't don't think that there is any diff in the way this book generally is valued, and the way that I value the content.
But the Author is not a Mr. Nobody. He is generally known a an Authoritative in the Italian Car history. And in my eyes he is to day the uppermost Authoritative Author in the Alfa Romeo history.
In my opinion, such a position gives obligations, and the reader the right to have the expectation that the content of the work, reflect the title and covers the diff. angle if not all the issues regarding the variety on the known design issue, AT THE TIME THE BOOK IS RELEASED .
And I am sorry, but I don't follow you line quote: "For all these reasons I find it difficult to understand that you play this book down despite you usual Alfa culture."

And if you by Alfa culture mean, one I not allowed to express ones disappointment regarding the content of a book, where the author has omitted a car with a special design as the car in question.. Sorry so I must admit I DON'T HAVE ALFA CULTURE, if that is the "interpretation" of Alfa Culture. And then levee the question of culture to an other tread.

I ad an picture of an other car that is not in the book. This car, Touring on chassis 915215, an very interesting car regarding Touring Design. But there is no new Design elements in this creation, Touring just made an other combination on known themes.
For me its understandable that this Touring 915215 is omitted, BUT I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO KNOW THAT THE "CARLO" ONE,IS LITERALLY OMITTED.



I think I have expressed my opinion. So lets use our energy to tray to solve the main question of this tread WHO PRODUCED "CARLOS" MYSTERY 6C2500. I think Carlo deserves it.
