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

[Paul Jaray]

26arb: As the car was in Jakarta, I would say the builder is from Indonesia
40arb: I found this car for sale from 2012: "Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta Sport, 1954.  Totally rebuild over the past 2 years, aluminum body, Freshly rebuild 1900cc engine, 120hp, 4-speed gearbox".

3rd car for today: 24arb was built by a company, called OHA Automobili in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The picture was taken at the 2017 Autoclasica festival

26arb: Yes! He made 2 more cars. I have them all and I'm confident I'll have a name soon. Correct!
40arb: Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta Sport, 1954 - I have a couple of suspects, but I have to accept that. Correct!
24arb: Alfa Romeo 1900 Disco Volante 'fianchi stretti' recreation by OHA Automobiles Correct!

Chassis was factory-built (supposedly an evolution of the 6C 3000 CM). According to some sources the body was made by Touring.

[Paul Jaray]

Not Touring.

Please check the synthesis in reply #4, you have attributed these solutions to Carnut once again 

[Wendax]

Just for my understanding of the rules: Does the 24-hours gap not apply to answering the "Who built it?" questions also?

[oko94]

I made only two guesses last night so I had one left to do.

Well I've read the rules again and apparently I should have made the three guesses in the same post.

NEW RULE: NO RULES

22arb: built by Colli ?

[oko94]

13arb: Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta ?
15arb: Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta ?

[Carnut]

I think 15 ARB might be an AR 1900S Zagato Spider Conrero 1957 OR more likely an AR 1900SS Barchetta Stradale 1954?

I also had 22 as by Touring but you say it isn't so must keep looking:

[Paul Jaray]

22arb: built by Colli ?

22arb: not Colli

13arb: Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta ?
15arb: Alfa Romeo 1900 Barchetta ?

13arb: Not the name I have for that.
15arb: Not enough, sorry.

15arb: Alfa Romeo 1900SS barchetta Stradale is the name given to this recreation. The year I have is different (but whi knows!). Who built it?
22arb: it's not a guess, and you are right.

[Carnut]

22 ARB was written off at Monza in 1954 and I suppose was rebuilt and ended up in a museum.
It ended up in the UK in 1985 and its new owners Henry Wessells III and Christopher Mann set about restoring it.
There was so little of the original left that there is some doubt about whether it's original, restored or recreated!
Wessells has since died but the car is still in the hands of Christopher Mann.

[Wendax]

36arb: 1954 Fiat 500 C Barchetta by Trevisan

36arb: Not by Trevisan. (I found out the whole story of that car, finally)

But even though it is not by Trevisan, is it a 1954 Fiat 500 C Barchetta?

22ARB There is a lot of confusion about these cars. This puzzle should make some order, hopefully. The car #22 is still out there.

Yes, of course.

[Carnut]

13 ARB seems to be called Alfa Romeo Disco Volante Narrowside (Fianchi Stretti)..  built in 1952 maybe by Touring?

[Wendax]

Narrowside is just the translation of Fianchi Stretti. I guess you had your automatic translator on? 

[Carnut]

Narrowside is just the translation of Fianchi Stretti. I guess you had your automatic translator on? 

Aha - Fianchi Stretti seems to be acceptable as part of the name (see 25 and 28, solved by you) so maybe I'll change it to that!
I picked the picture up from an American site and that's what it was called there so I didn't translate anything...

[Carnut]

Re 22 ARB..

Doesn't the car I have highlighted in the extract below refer to the car in question?
Although it seems to have been entered in the 2014 Goodwood Revival as a 3000 CM Zagato Spider, so it might be 1361.000125, which transformed into a Zagato Spider in 1955 - shortly after it was destroyed at Monza...  And that car is shown as  belonging to Henry Wessells III, so it might be that car after all.  In which case the body seems to have been built by Zagato!

[Paul Jaray]

13 ARB seems to be called Alfa Romeo Disco Volante Narrowside (Fianchi Stretti)..  built in 1952 maybe by Touring?

13arb: That is what I have too. It is a modern recreation (as the 90% of the cars in this puzzle is). I have not the definitive proof about its builder. Correct!

22arb: I will help you a lot. The Zagato spider is 3ARB. The car destroyed at Monza is gone for good. Not Zagato, Colli or Touring.
