Thanks

It's a real 1900 that was rebodied in a style similar to the 1961 Ferrari 250 SWB GT in the 1980s.

Very impressive! Twin plug head, even.

Thanks for the link. Probably the nicest looking Alfa ever made!

Stu: Did you notice the "Telaio tubolare degli anni 50" in the description? Any idea if the description is correct and who made it?

I had a talk on the phone with Mr Luzzago regarding this car.
The owner brought back in the 70 some old chassis. Among them where this. He decided to get a car to his own design, and this is the result.
According to Mr Luzzago there is absolutely no history relating to , who build the chassis or the engine.
Mr Luzzago emphasised that it would be easy to build a story around this car, but he would not be a part of history writing.

Hats off to Mr. Luzzago for not wanting to write history!
Any idea what the estimate is for this car?

Now That is Beautiful. I almost like it better than the 60's 33 Stradale. But NOPE! so Its second.

Nice car, but I would prefer the elegance of the 2000 sportiva or the pure ruggedness of the 6C 3000CM Coupe. BTW, the rubber hose between the carbs and the intake manifold look ugly & scary, but maybe it's a great idea to mate webers to 75 twin spark unit without spending money for the conversion manifold ...

Everythings say is wrong, car was built in Italy 3 years ago and is own by a friend of mine.
Luzzago is the worst dealer in Italy, he have many lawsuit in Italy as he sold cars that he don't own and keep the cash !
I like the ""I would guess Gilco, but I do NOT know for sure. from Stu""

Can I advice that when you don t known, you don t known and don't guess !

I saw the car during his construction and the truth behind it.
