I think I actually know what this one is. There was a ruinously expensive prewar Alfa in the USSR in the 70s - I think this is it. https://aak.lv/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Riga-82-5.jpg https://aak.lv/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Riga-82-4.jpg -- Last edit: 2025-01-23 21:00:31 |

Not even close. At least the Alfa didn't have a third headlight. To me, it looks like some big '40s convertible pretending to be one. |

Yeah, I wasn't feeling that sure anymore when I saw the photos, but I still decided to go along with it. I assumed this was how the new owner initially found it  -- Last edit: 2025-01-25 23:18:58 |

Some additional pics:![[Image: 3.1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/3.1.jpg) ![[Image: 2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/2.jpg) It is an Alfa Romeo, except that it's not that Alfa Romeo that was posted by @Gamer. Btw, that 6C 2300 B MM by Touring Superleggera was discovered in a Lobnya garage in 1978 and was bought by a restorer Yuri Alekhin. The car was then sold off in 1983 to some collector before eventually ending up in the ownership of roadster & cabriolet club in 2000. After years of arduous restoration work, this is how the same car is presented nowadays. There had been a few other pre-war Alfa's scattered around in USSR. This is the one: ![[Image: avto_07_093-1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/avto_07_093-1.jpg) Annoyingly, the picture that I pulled from this digital edition of avtopilot (issued in 2007.07) has no description or any date under the picture. It's from an article about Viktor Koloskov who had acquired a 1939 6C 2500 Sport with a Touring Superleggera body in 1972 and then, for a lack of a better word, butchered it: ![[Image: c032e02s-960.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/c032e02s-960.jpg) ![[Image: 4032e02s-960.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/4032e02s-960.jpg) ![[Image: ffd2e02s-960.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/ffd2e02s-960.jpg) I'm guessing those two are either different cars, or they are the same car pictured in different timelines (i.e. before the inevitable surgery and after). Either way, whichever the case, both (or the same) cars have the same Superleggera body. |
