With "Alfa Frankenstein" you're certainly on the right track.

 

More info is that it was a monoposto GP car that was transformed into a 2 seater for races like the Targa Florio.

 

Another picture may be helpful.

This is a completely new one to me - very interesting. There is a whole page devoted to it here Automodellando - VIRTUAL MUSEUM unfortunately in Italian but as usual Google makes a good stab at translating.

Ronald,

 

That's the one although a lot of information I found on the net refer to AMP as Alfa Maserati Prete some other refer to Alfa Martinoli Prete.

 

As William already wrote a lot of info can be found on the page he published.

 

Over to Ronald

The interesting thing is that although the chassis is supposed to be Maserati 4CL or 4CLT, the front suspension is totally different. The 4CL and 4CLT use inboard coil-overs operated by the top wishbone acting as a rocker arm. It may be with the longer Alfa Romeo 8 cylinder engine, there was not room for the inboard suspension, so they had to cannibalise the suspension from somewhere else. It looks more like the suspension off a Delahaye 135S or BMW 328.

And here the next one, gentlemen. A pretty generous crop, I think.

British, 1970s or early 80s. A TVR?

 

"Possibly British". Let´s say it´s a european car. Not a TVR, but this model version may even be rarer, although it´s based on a car which sold well in higher amounts, but not as a convertible. I´d say it´s a 1970s car, but build until the early 1980s, in a certain version even until the 1990s.
