Maybe enough has been posted about the Serenissima picture which was my NEH 1333 on AP already, so I've changed the puzzle pic and number!

I don't think any Spohn cars were; many are decidedly on the weird side!

I'm very curious to know what is stored behind the opening panel in the front wing/fender! Could it be the spare wheel, battery, etc., Bristol-style? If anyone knows...  ;)

Most of the post war Veritas cars were built by Spohn – quite attractive I think. (I definetly don't mean those terrible private client works!!)
