I'm sorry for answering my own post, but from what I've read, all of the photos are of the same car!
This was a one of a kind automobile. A 3 seater with center driving position.
The restoration with it's glossy dark green color and wire wheels made it look like an earlier version of the blue and red car. Windscreen, no windscreen. Confusion abounds. Logic would say a restoration would have a single original color. But this thing got re-sprayed at least 3 times.
Read the article posted within the alfabb thread and you'll be amazed at it's journey.
The chassis and maybe engine leaves Italy for Hungary. Some confusion exists as to where it was built, Italy or Hungary. The article seems to state it was built in Hungary and eventually shipped to Italy. The brothers need cash after running from post-war Communist Hungary and sell it to an American GI (the only name forgotten in it's history). He ships it home to America. From there it get's more convoluted ending back in Italy/France?
In the thread there is reference to the design being similar to the German Autounion rear-engine cars. This is supposed to have happened around the time Fusi was fired for losing to the Germans.
