250swb Posted November 21, 2010 Share #582 Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) A Bandini, with a Crosley engine. Steve Edited November 21, 2010 by 250swb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkochheiser Posted November 21, 2010 Share #583 Posted November 21, 2010 Good grief Steve! That was fast. Not so obscure as I thought. I can't answer for the engine but you are certainly right about it being a Bandini. The information from the concourse was that it was ordered in 1956 by Alex Raymond, the cartoonist of Flash Gordon. Currently owned by Corinna Fendt of Munich. Over to you. Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 21, 2010 Share #584 Posted November 21, 2010 I recognised the badge of the Bandini, but did have to do a quick search for the engine type which I didn't recognise. Here is one that will be easy... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

kkochheiser Posted November 21, 2010 Share #585 Posted November 21, 2010 I know it well (I've actually ridden in one back in the day) but I really need to give someone else a chance! I look forward to seeing the whole thing. Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmo Posted November 21, 2010 Share #586 Posted November 21, 2010 Steve, Makes me think of an Alfa 33/2 . John, Regarding the 6C3000 my picture of the one of the Alfa Museum during the MM in 2004 looks similar but there are certainly differences with your picture. So maybe more than 1 spider surviving?

So maybe more than 1 spider surviving? Regards Gerd Gerd, from what limited research I have done, there were only two 3000 CM Spiders produced by the factory. One is currently in their museum collection and the other was destroyed during testing. One Colli coupe was purchased by the Swedish racing driver, Joachim Bonnier, who rebodied it as a spider and raced it, but without knowing serial numbers (if indeed there were any), it would be difficult to tell exactly which car your picture shows. If it's a Museo Storico car, it would be real, but keep in mind that back then, there were variations between individual racing cars of the same model but I would certainly not base originality upon a photo of a recreation. Kent, to answer your question, the 3000 CM repro owner also restored and used to own an Alfa 2600 Zagato coupe, so I can only guess that his recreation is using a 1960's 2600 engine and transmission along with proper Webers, of course. This particular car was created by someone in Missouri who, I was told, also built one for himself. Unfortunately, the owner was surrounded by many inquisitive Alfisti and I was not able to gather much information about this car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmo Posted November 22, 2010 Share #592 Posted November 22, 2010 Steve, Well it was the headlight that made me think of the 33/2 and the lower air-intake that made me doubt.

luigi bertolotti Posted November 24, 2010 Share #595 Posted November 24, 2010 The Alfa Romeo 750 Competizione? Steve Is not up to me to say you're right... but I think 99% YOU ARE: a 750 really partecipated to 2004 MM (driven by a woman, btw). My rough answer is really out... tail's style is someway Giulietta-like, but 750 was not a Pininfarina design... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmo Posted November 24, 2010 Share #596 Posted November 24, 2010 Luigi, Steve, It is the 750 Competizione as you can see in the following pictures. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The car was driven (in solo) by Sylvia Oberti in a fund raising project for children in hospital. You can see her standing next to the car here. I join some details about the project that I found back. Quote Alfa Romeo is racing forward with the charity project "L'Angelo dei bimbi & Angelino" an initiative with the objective of bringing a smile to children recuperating in hospitals around the world. In fact, with much enthusiasm, Alfa Romeo has decided to collaborate with Sylvia Oberti, the "Pilotessa" from California who for the past 12 years participated in the Mille Miglia driving solo, and in world reknowned races and rallies while raising funds for children and adult health issues. Children in hospitals from Milan, Brescia, Florence, Genova, Rome and Naples are to receive many gifts from Alfa Romeo, including Angelino, the little white bear symbolizing hope. Unquote I must start looking whether I have something other than Alfa Romeo. But for now over to Steve.

gmo Posted November 24, 2010 Share #598 Posted November 24, 2010 Luigi, I must put your beautiful city again on my to do list and why not another Mille Miglia since 2004 is already so long ago. I love the relaxed atmosphere during the technical scruteneering when everybody can walk in this museum on wheels that the whole city is at that moment.

J_Thompson Posted November 24, 2010 Share #599 Posted November 24, 2010 Thanks for posting these pictures of this rare and interesting Alfa, Gerd. I never knew about the 750 Competizione before and good going on that answer, Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
