I have a bit of a file on this car but there are mostlly vague generalities and claims as to possibilities. Nothing in the way of real documentation has been shared.

It is not likely to be a Nardi despite the number of times that it is either claimed or proposed as a possibility. Until more information is shared ... such as the engine number (perhaps the source of the "1936" build year?) and build characteristics, as well as the claimed "iron curtain racing history", it remains an oddity that may turn out to be something as interesting as a Nardi. Not likely to be a Nardi or Nardi-Danese however.

Photos from 1990 and earlier show:

The chassis is not built in the style of a "Nardi" or Nardi-Danese, as designed/drawn by Augusto Monaco.

The engine has a single carburetor.

It has independent rear suspension of origins that are not yet determined so far as I know.

It was offered at auction 1990 in Switzerland as "Alfa Romeo Nardi 6C2500" (Advice: "Don't believe everything you read!") and was either sold or perhaps not? It was last known to be with a Swiss owner/collector/speculator.
