The first thing anyone does is check the properties of you picture which is a bit of a give away

Change the name and repost!

Definately no peeking

That's one of my favourite cars - an ATS Allemano.

RM Auctions have one coming up for sale at Battersea next month - a rather special 2500 GTS fitted with a 3.0 V8 in place of the usual 2.5 L version.

It has no reserve set but is expected to sell for around £600k - £1 million

Ah well, for a moment I thought the Aston DBS by touring.... but Andy has the big fish!

Nice one!

Bert

Spot on Andy , but I think Bert's Aston is a heroic effort and is very similar around the headlights.
The gunmetal car is from the Jay Leno collection and has only travelled
900 klms. since 1963

That paint is original !!

Trouble is - Look what a dehumidified garage does for the leather

Never even knew about this car, never minds seem one but what an absolute stunner

found a carcoon does similar things for rubber seals too!.. its not good is it?!..
i think humidity and temp controlled storage is fine (think humidor

) but dehumidified just dries everything out

Lovely thing, seems to have influences of the Ferrari 255 GTO and 250LM, with a bit of Maserati, Citroen DS and Opel GT thrown in .

Love it, can't afford it.

Yes designed by Franco Scaglione. This guy had ' form' and was guilty of designing

IMHO simply The most beautiful car of all time

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale
