Very surprised that the Rookies didn't have a try at this one.  So, it's now up to you Experts!

Is it, what we would politely call a "replica"?

So pleased that you didn't fall into the inevitable trap, as it is indeed a 'replica.'

Was it made in Britain? (I say was, as the picture looks a bit grainy)

It is indeed the German-built Tedesca Spider, based on an Alfa 75, so well done Woodinsight.  

Autogids, just because the picture was grainy doesn't mean that the car must be British.  It doesn't rain here all the time you know and the sun is shinning brightly today!  ;D

Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider, but that's obvious. I assume there is something special about this car ?

"Carrozzeria Tedesca" is correct.

But it has a model name.

Although it is orthographically wrong, it has to be "Tedesca Carozzeria" with just one 'r'.

The 1993 Diva Spider had a fiberglass body on a tubular chassis, technical base were the two-liter Alfa Romeo transaxle models.

"Carozzeria Tedesca GmbH" was the company name. I´ve changed the superficious "r".

It had a Kevlar/carbon-fibre body!

Does someone know how many where built and if there are some still running?

I'am thinking of writing an article about the Diva in our Alfa Romeo quarterly.

Anyone got more info or pictures?

Thnx in advance
