Alfa 800A carrozzeria SICCA

My avatar shows a 1950 Alfa 800A bus with body from the well known firm SICCA. SICCA and Alfa romeo had a successful cooperation in the early fifties for the famous 902AS buses. The "S" of course stands for SICCA. The patented SICCA chassis was used in combination with the 6 cylinder Alfa Romeo diesel engine from the 900 series. The 902AS buses were available with bodies from many different coach builders.

The 800A SICCA shown in my avatar is one of 2 (as far as known to me). The bodies of these 2 800A SICCA buses varied slightly in the design of the front section to suit the identity of the bus companies for which these vehicles were made.
