Peter, I think it was Mahogany. In any event, I've seen Mahogany veneer used as a replacement and it looks great. I've also seen OEM finishes ranging from lighter to dark on the same model cars. Given Alfa's penchant for using whatever was avaliable some variation can be expected. FYI For cleaning and polishing delicate guitar finishes (French polish especially) I use Mguire's #9 Swirl Remover. It's great for cleaning (you can even work out minor imperfections) but it won't harm the finish. It will probably do a similar job on Alfa's veneers.
