I don't think so.   :huh:   I searched the solved puzzles and looked at all the current puzzles and did not find it.

right model, wrong manufacter.  Locked for you for 24 hours, then it's off to the experts to have a go at it.

Built from 1960 till 1963.

Testarossa in the background seems to wear dutch numberplates and there is a Alfa Romeo Ondine 1962 for sale in the Netherlands. So I suppose 1962.

All those efforts for one point?

Yep.  Nobody said solving these puzzles was supposed to be easy.  One point for you.  Good job.   :applause:

Here are the emblems that were redacted in the picture I posted in addition to the original photo.

In Italy, Alfa Romeo built the Dauphine Alfa Romeo under license between 1959 and 1964 in Portello, Milan. Differences with the French model are: electricity (Magneti-Marelli) 12 Volts, special lights, and the logo "Dauphine Alfa Romeo" or "Ondine Alfa Romeo".

Yes, but on those, the name 'Alfa Romeo' was not present.

The Dauphine's reputation here as a rust-bucket stood alone for years until it was finally eclipsed by the AlfaSud :D :yuck:

I think with these early rectangular flashers it must be an Alfa Romeo Dauphine rather than an Ondine.
