According to several websites this car is a 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS by Ghia-Aigle, see enclosed pic. So Iluvatar was right I believe...

OK, I had understood it to be by Ghia in Italy but now I see that it was in fact Ghia-Aigle.
I've therefore given Iluvatar a point for misleading him as well as one to mekubb for solving the car.

Thanks, that's seems fair ! Iluvatar can send me a nice bottle of Italian wine  ;) Very nice car by the way, but wonder if the color is original

This car is chassis 10208, built in 195 and shown for the first time with this body at Geneva in 1957. It's the only known cabriolet from this series.

When did you mean it was built?
