Represented as all origil including most of its bodywork, matching numbers and looks impressive. Fine early Scuderia Ferrari markings on interl engine parts. Memini DOA carb, crudely welded gas tank. Inner body panels painted grey covering any age and work marks. Hood piano hinges are new. Otherwise hard to tell.

Market commentary
Sold for exactly the same hammer bid at the Worldwide auction at Keels & Wheels in Seabrook, Texas in 2005 with some subsequent expert inspections, documentation and research. Bought here entirely reasobly for what it is and its very usable old Italian restoration. This is a modest price to pay for an historic Alfa that may be the first Scuderia Ferrari car and which is welcome at just about any event or tour in the world.
