Topic: Solved (All but 1)-PJ- Alfa Romeo Barchettas

[Paul Jaray]

Here you are 40 cars.
Some of them are quite easy, other ones are pretty hard and many of them are still obscure to me too.

Each puzzler can post a guess ONE TIME and then wait 24hr for the next one.
In the same post, he can have a go to 3 different cars.

1 point for 4 correct answers.
10 points available (in theory...)
Consider that Alfa Romeo never made most of these cars and I'm after the actual builder. I know how they are named, but this is Autopuzzles

3arb : 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Zagato Spider, displayed at Pebble Beach in 2005.
14arb : Alfa Romeo Barchetta 2500 6C Derivata Barchetta Corsa Evocation, chassis : Fiat 1100 GILCO, engine : 1949 2500 6C Alfa Romeo. Featured in NEH 4061 puzzle.
30arb : Alfa Romeo Disco Volante re-creation made in Argentina.

3arb: Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Spider 1953 Correct!
14arb: Alfa Romeo never made such model. I doubt there's a Gilco chassis in there.
30arb: So far so good...but who made it?

[Paul Jaray]

8arb: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2600 Conrero
10arb: 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900 Conrero
28arb: 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 Disco Volante „fianchi stretti“ at the Moulhouse museum

8arb & 10arb: They are not Alfa Romeo models and I suspect Conrero has nothing to do with them.
28arb:  Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 Disco Volante „fianchi stretti“ Correct!

[Paul Jaray]

Great idea!

Thank you. I hope it will not be a nightmare.

[oko94]

14arb: Alfa Romeo never made such model. I doubt there's a Gilco chassis in there.

I agree, it's not a genuine Alfa Romeo but an evocation including parts from various cars. Do you expect the builder's name ?

[oko94]

30arb: So far so good...but who made it?

Vintage Racing Cars

[Carnut]

Fantastic puzzle!  I'll have a go at these three:

20 arb is a Barchetta evocation built in Argentina in 1968 by Nestor Salerno with a 2000GTV engine.

2 arb is a 1953 Alfa 6C 3000 CM Spider built by Colli.

5 arb is described as a 1954 Alfa 1900 Barchetta bodied by Colli; it seems to be an original.

[pnegyesi]

32arb: In the mid-1950s, a wealthy Milanese client commissioned Carrozzeria Corasco of Turin to build a copy of the famous Disco Volante around a tubular steel chassis of a 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 Super dressed with aluminum bodywork.

Both 33arb and 34arb were built by Carozzeria Ferrero
I am getting very confused here, but I believe 33arb was built at the end of the 1980s, donor Alfa Romeo 1900 Super
34arb based on Alfa Romeo Spider, early 1980s

[Oguerrerob]

Beautiful Cars!!!!

Yes, when possible I'd like to know the real builders.

30arb: So far so good...but who made it?

Vintage Racing Cars

I know it seems just like that, but according to what I found it's not. VRC sells cars built by other too and this one cames from a different company.

32arb: This is the story available around. I have the feeling Coriasco has nothing to do with it (and hopefully Als15's new book will solve the mistery) but so far I'll have to accept it.
Alfa Romeo Disco Volante Evocazione based on a 1900 by Carrozzeria Coriasco (?) Correct!
33arb: Alfa Romeo Disco Volante 'fianchi larghi' recreation based on a '58 1900 Super by Carrozzeria Ferrero Correct!
34arb: Alfa Romeo Disco Volante 'fianchi larghi' recreation based on a '83 Duetto by Carrozzeria Ferrero Correct!

5arb: not an Alfa Romeo.

Sorry - I made a mistake with 5 arb.
I didn't mean 5 arb at all - I meant 6 arb..
So my answer should have read:

6 arb is described as a 1954 Alfa 1900 Barchetta bodied by Colli; it seems to be an original.

The answer doesn't change, that is not an original Alfa Romeo

As I have just posted a new 3-car guess, shall I wait another 24 hours before I try to complete my answer about 30arb ?

Each 24 hours, you can have a go. You already score 3/3 with your last guess. Tomorrow, you can decide to use your 3 guesses to fix #30 or to solve others

[Carnut]

Let's try 3 these then for today's guesses:

7 ARB: 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta Conrero Telaio Tubolare

27 ARB: Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Barchetta Bertone prototype prepared by Conrero – 1954

31 ARB: Alfa Romeo Sport C52 Disco Volante by Touring

7 ARB: 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta Conrero Telaio Tubolare

27 ARB: Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Barchetta Bertone prototype prepared by Conrero – 1954

31 ARB: Alfa Romeo Sport C52 Disco Volante by Touring

Things are going to be more complicated in the future. I do not have the answer to some of the cars in the puzzle: I will accept the mostly common name they are known by, but if anyone will find a conclusive proof, it will be settled.

7arb: I have not the answer to this. I suspect it's not original.
27arb: I have not a definitive answer but a strong suspect on this one.
31: Correct!
