Hello Docter,
Might I may some remarks? According to d’Amico and Tabucchi in their 2007 version of the ‘Alfa Romeo Production Cars 1910 -2007’ book concerning the 6C2300:
Quote; ‘The “Pescara” version of the 6C 2300 B was also updated with the new independent suspension chassis. As with the 1934 “Pescara”, the engine was fuelled via two single-choke horizontal carburettor rather than the single twin-choke vertical carburettor mounted on all the versions of the 6C 2300 B with the exception of the Mille Miglia berlinetta. Just four examples of the 2300 B ‘Pescara’ model were built in 1935, with a further five being produced in 1936. Minor variations only were made to the mechanical and coachwork specifications for 1937’.Unquote
Chassis and engine numbers:
1935 chassis 813801 – 813804 with engines 823801 – 823804, 1936 chassis 813805 – 813809 with engines 823805 – 823809, 1937 chassis 813810 – 813915 with engines 823810 – 823915.
According to d’Amico and Tabucchi the 6C2300 B Mille Miglia car was closely related to the ‘Pescara’ model of 1935. The Mille Miglia version had chassisnumber 815001 – 815101 with enginenumbers 823916 – 823968 and 824001 – 824051.
Ciao, Olaf
