Equipment
Engine replaced with a 2300 bored to 2.5 liters, 2500 cylinder head, carburetor, manifolds and ancillaries. Body-color wire wheels, blackwall tires, skirts, trafficators, leather upholstery.
Condition
Restored in 1998, 2nd in Class and Most Elegant Closed Car at Pebble Beach in 1998, still good enough to be Best Pre-War Alfa at The Quail in 2012. Excellent paint, chrome and interior showing only faint evidence of being used.
Market commentary
As attractive as it was when RM offered it at Amelia Island last March, but no closer to finding a new owner than it did then when it was bid to $900,000. It is a beautiful example of Touring's streamlined coachwork however the consignor may want to recognize that the replaced engine detracts from its value and accept the judgment of the bidders.
