What's this, who was it built by and when - for 1 point.

And again, before the choruses of "re-post" it is not a re-post!

That would make it a re-post:

and in my original question I stressed that this is not a re-post.
Therefore the answer is "No"!

6c 3000 Boano/Peron car:
this car was in possession of a Henri W. Wessels III, who crashed it in a race in Pennsylvania in 1984.
The body was so damaged, that restoring it to it's original form would have been impossible; so Diomante coachworks in Turin rebody it as a Colli type coupe.

You found it!
Well done.
So it was a copy as you say by Diomante in Turin.

What makes this a 1900?  This seems to be the current body style of the Peron Alfa, which was originally a Fangio 6C 3000, and later advertised as being a 3500.

That's a good question.
It would seem to be the Fangio 6C 3000 as you say, but at the time I seem to have been convinced it was a 1900SS though I can no longer see why nor can I remember.

I'll have a look at what I think was my source tonight but it looks like I might have to change the title!

Nothing new to report, having checked my books.
I seemed pretty sure at the time I posted this that it wasn't a re-post (which it would have been if it had been that original 6C 3000 Fangio) but I can no longer find any proof of that.  But I accepted the ID as the 3000 without arguing the case for it being a 1900SS so maybe I was getting confused with something else.  Frankly, I don't know.  Sorry.

Perhaps an Alfa expert can throw some light on this.

The car is most definitely Peron's Boano car after the rebuild by Diomante into a Colli.
Peron's car was a 6C 3000 CM, not a 1900 (but some similar looking 1900's were made as well by Boano)
Example similar looking 1900:
