Luigi Fusi, in his great book "Le Alfa Romeo di Vittorio Jano" mentions that this 6C2300 Pescara was built for conto di Theo Rossi di Montelera.
Is Fusi wrong or is Felice Bonetto the second onwner of 700552?
There is another picture of 700552 in Simon Moore's 8C2300 book on page 694. The car is seen while participating to the famous Liege-Rome-Liege race in 1937 (car #15). The colour is changed, now darker, may be red? The headlamps have been modified and no more behind the grills, probably for a better efficiency. I haven't been able to find the name of the driver and co-driver.
Note that the famous parisian coachbuilder Figoni & Falaschi, built an exact copy of 700552 body for a Talbot Lago T150 SS chassis.
