Hi,

interesting link.

Especially the 1946 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500!!!

I didn't know that this car survived.

Btw, they do not only have problems with the name Pininfarina

They should have used the name "Frua" as coachbuilder.
First this would be correct and further much easier to write than Pininfarina, lol.

Ciao Carlo

by the looks of it the 6c 2500 barely survived. It looks like it's just frontend body pannels and boxes of parts

oops,

before someone else does, I have to correct myself.

It's not confirmed that it was actually built by Frua.

You can find the photos of this car here:

The Alfa shown is indeed a Pininfarina creation. It was not well received when first shown except of course by Mrs. Cuccioli for whom it was built.
to each his own

Well it was by Pininfarina according to Michael Frostick's book on the "Master Coachbuilder". But it seems that British writers who write about Italian things never have anything proof read.

i think the realistic value

of this car totally restored is $200,000-$250,000...but it's going to take a LOT of money..
