Equipment
Black wire wheels, Michelin tires, dual rear spares, folding windshield, radiator stoneguard, Jaeger clock, tach and speedometer.
Condition
Very good Swiss restoration completed in 2009 with excellent paint, chrome and interior showing scant evidence of use or age. Shown at Pebble Beach in 2012. Better than new without being overdone. A bit troubling is the catalog's description: 'retains a number of original components ... including the original chassis identification plate, engine number stampings, and crankcase stamping.' The numbering of the Memini carburetor, front axle, rear axle housing, and CWP gear carrier also suggest that these components are original. The chassis number is stamped on both the windscreen and the hood-hinge, and body number 917 is clearly stamped on various parts of the car. What is left out of that laundry list is pretty comprehensive.
Market commentary
But that is what happens to old cars. 'Pure' this Alfa doesn't claim, it is still a right thing with gorgeous coachwork that should be welcomed at many events where entry is restricted. Under the circumstances it was adequately priced and should satisfy both the buyer and the seller.
