Once I have some feedback from the Alfa Romeo museum on exact specifications, build dates and history of this car, I will be in a better position to ascertain exactly what it is I am rebuilding. At this stage, it looks as if this car might have a little more history to it than was first suspected ?. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to email.

Do you know the Carlo Rhighetti (sp) Collection in Italy?.
I toured there with Grand Prix Tours in 94. They have Enzo's first Ferrari, a Cisitali (sp) and a great varied collection of cars many of which had come from the family's breaking yard.They had it seems one of every significant Alfa ever made. The estate used to be part of the Vatican's wine cellars. Maybe contacting the family might get you some historical information for your project.
