I'll swear I've seen this on AP before but I'm blowed if I can find it!
So what is it and who built it - for 1 point?

AR SV, yes, but not a Z
So what model and who built it?

Alfa Romeo SV Scaglietti ?

Actually it would be more accurate for me to ask who had it built rather than who actually built it, because I'm not entirely sure which carrozzeria or back-street bodyshop was responsible!

It's strange... this car looks similar to the rather known Scaglietti Giulietta SV, but the rear is indeed different... so it should be another car... maybe from Scaglietti too...
I really never saw it...

Racing driver Aristide Molteni modified his Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce with an aerodynamic nose. Work was done by Bertone. After an accident he had it modified further - as shown in the picture and no sign was left of the original body. I have no information about the coachbuilder who did the second modification.
