Not the name I have.

It was not built by him. I am in contact with a close friend of AL. I had him ask Cortes for a confirmation of the name I had. It is correct.

The car was built by another guy and I have his company name too, but it's not related to Cortes'.

I have no idea. If that's the correct name, that would be 1 point for you (and not 1/3).

Well I couldn't find any evidence and I guess I got tired of it at some point.

This puzzle is not that hard after all

There's a small error in the synthesis (reply #4), I should have 13 points if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks, I'll fix it.

5arb: I have builder's name. There are very few references about him. His company is much more obscure. His name is enough.
9arb: Yes!
16arb: Not from Italy, not mentioned on this puzzle before.
18arb: I have builder's name. I know just this one made by him.
36arb: no
40arb: yes

It's only awarded to the one who names the builder then, with nothing for the one who identified the car (which probably led to the identification of the builder)? I'm thinking of 15 ARB.

Paul Jaray · June 14, 2018, 03:52:44 PM

I know it seems unfair, but I hope it's not.
These cars are all over the web. If you google "Alfa Romeo Barchetta", you can find 25/30 of them. To find how they are named it's not hard, after all. If I do not have anything more, that would be enough. But when I do know the builder, that's what I'm looking for. Those names are pure fiction.

9arb: built by Colli ?
