Rona!d Posted May 12, 2017 Share #9764 Â Posted May 12, 2017 Many more hints: Â The maker in question also produced trucks, buses and big Diesel engines up to 11,5 ltr., even engines for planes. The final truck under their logo was made in the early 1990s I think. The first trucks and Diesel engines were licensed German constructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted May 12, 2017 Share #9766 Â Posted May 12, 2017 Sorry, no Tatra but similar ingenious. Â Another hint: Unlike Tatra the company in question still produces passenger vehicles and they are well known for them. They were also pretty successful in making race cars.

Rona!d Posted May 14, 2017 Share #9775  Posted May 14, 2017 We are still looking for  the maker (MILANO it is NOT) exact model (now incl. the "nickname") coachbuilder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 14, 2017 Share #9776  Posted May 14, 2017 It is an Alfa Romeo, I would guess a B2500 straight six or maybe a 1900. I think the coachbuilder is Pininfarina, abeit not one of his better efforts. He did a very similar body on a Cisitalia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 14, 2017 Share #9777  Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) I think the full name for the vehicle is the 6C B2500 "Sport Freccia" . Some of these bodies were later transplanted to 1900 chassis and the sexier 6C chassis given new bodywork. That happened on the 6C we had where the body made by De Mola in Belgium in 1940 was originally on a 6C 1750 supercharged chassis. The body was then switched to a 6C 2500 and the Pininfarina body off the 6C2500 moved to a 1900 Alfa in around 1949. Edited May 14, 2017 by wlaidlaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 14, 2017 Share #9778 Â Posted May 14, 2017 Good enough, Wilson. That was an interesting wide range guessing ;-) Â The right name should be Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport 'Freccia d'Oro' (= Golden Arrow) your turn! Too bad this one is not one of the rare "Cabriolet Coupes" which in reality was a large sun roof. Â Coachbuilder: I thought Touring, but it was Alfa Romeos own job according to my information source.

wlaidlaw Posted May 15, 2017 Share #9779  Posted May 15, 2017 I will try to find a new car tomorrow. Today's little task has been installing a voltage stabiliser in the very warm boiler room in my cellar to try and prevent the over-sensitive electronics of the boiler tripping out.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 15, 2017 Share #9780  Posted May 15, 2017 Oh yes, these little daily tasks in times you cannot get good craftsmen because they are all booked out for weeks and don´t come for "little" jobs. I´d prefer working on an old boat or car instead ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
