@BEAR, thanks for your input to this interesting thread. Even though Bartoletti made many (race) car transporters I hardly believe that this/these vehicles are made by Bartoletti. I'd like to proven wrong by somebody in this thread, I realy want to know who made the body

Post 2 , thanks for the newer Alfa transporter here , not seen before.
Post 7 , 48-51 is to me not a short while afterall its 4 season , and I was surprised on the 48 Luxemboirg picture date.
Post 12 kind words from dretceterini , but to call me an expert is an exaggeration , a specialist would be more appropriate as I do mostly in transporters up to 1970.
The third and second last posts is not for my lonely brain cell!
Latest post : I only suggested Bartoletti because I have yet to see big car build by the other Italians. And Bartoletti started thereabout , but as it was common all over Europe at that time a lot af small garages did special build ups , and it might as well be the coacgbuilder who made the buses. I am however hoping for a break in acces somewhere to som special info very soon .

For the 1953 Le Mans race Alfa Romeo used their own Autotransporter for their 6-7 cars. Before when going to F1 races with the Alfettas they often were supported by their own make of normal low sided trucks , 2 axle. They even in 1950 seams to have used a Dodge 1947 tilted.

I recall there was a great picture of this transporter in the 6C3000 CM thread. The picture was lost in the server crash. Unfortunately, I don't remember who posted it.

1953 LE MANS
This is probably the picture you're mentioning, Ruedi.
I believe it was posted by Boudewijn, who has posted many great unseen pictures before.

I am not sure who made the coachwork. Gila model in Italy made a 1/43rd scale model of the truck in both Scuderia Ferrari and Marzotto versions. The models are LONG obsolite, but I am trying to get some made. I will ask the owner of Gila if he knows who actually made the coachwork. It is certainly possible he does not know, and made the models only from photos....

Good idea trying to ask modelmanufacturers , I only tried such onces , with no luck!
I am hoping to get into contact with someone who might have acces to something , will say no more before it turns out to be right!
Also trying to find what Alfa had in the 30s (when the Sc.Ferrari more or less were the "works"team) ,so far up to 1938 when they took over the Ferrari yellow vans , I found nothing ! Later Autodelta could follow here (or now!)
Lets have all with Alfa Romeo Corse/Spa/Autodelta in transporters............

@ dretceterini; as mentioned in one of my earlier posts Gila was forbidden to keep on making the Ferrari version of the Alfa 800A transporter. Only very few were made when the production was forbidden. If you find one you have a rare item.
Gila Modelli (not the same as Gulp Modelli) has a website; Gilamodelli Sas
On this site you will find his range of model cars. The Scuderia Marzotto one is not available anymore, but he might still have one lying around somewhere. A very friendly and knowledgeable Italian specialised in trucks/buses

Gila models do make a lot of interesting trucks, transporters and busses. I am negotiating with them to become the exclusive importer in the US. They are also considering making 2 or 3 more of the Scuderia Ferrari transporter as an exclusive for me!
Here is a link to the photo of the Alfa Romeo factory 1950s race transporter truck they make:

Here is a link to the Alfa Romeo bus and trolleybus they make:

Simon Moore's 8C 2300 book (published in 2000 and still available from Parkside Publications) conatins 5 pictures on 4 pages that show transporters. All of them are credited to and copyrighted by the "Spitzler & Zagari" collection, which the book describes as a "collection of photos recently purchased from Franco Zagari by Matt Spitzley."
Page 51 shows "2111001 nestled in the lower level of the Scuderia Ferrari transporter. A 6C1750 occupies the upper rack."
Page 383 shows a Ferrari service truck in the background of a 8C2300 Monza "being prepared for some additional testing after the Parma-Poggio Hillclimb in June 1933."
Page 583 shows the Scuderia Ferrari cars and a transporter lined up for the 1933 Mille Miglia.
Page 610 shows 2 pictures. The legend reads: "We end the chapter on the Scuderia Ferrari cars with these photos of the Scuderia's fleet of support vehicles. The photo above shows that Ferrari had a broad array of sponsors, but apparently divided loyalties between tyre manufacturers! The first truck in the line-up was used to support the team's motorcycle racing activities. Compare this photo with the one on page 583. The truck in the picture on the right [meaning th elower picture] was designed to carry two cars, one above the other (see page 51). The "I" beneath the Modenese license plate indicates the truck was used to go to international events. (c) Zagari & Spitzley."
