[ponder]

Great clues led me to.....

What clues?

What clues?

Ohh I'm not sure, maybe these??

Year first one built was '55, this one was raced around '60's. 750 class.

We wouldn't be looking at an Abarth here would we...?

Not a Fiat, but don't they look like twins...maybe the same guy penned it...

Hehehe it looks like a squished Zagato Aston with Italian side-vent-thingies !

Zagato Bandini 750 GT Veloce Coupe

The floor is your's my friend.

This one follows on an earlier theme. I will accept two answers as the body was the same for two variants.

I couldn't bring myself to hack at the beautiful image much so the honour system is in place as always

Isn't that the original Alfa 175?

 

[HammerDown]

I've owned some sort of Alfa since I was 18 (yes, I know how to swing a spanner ) so will keep quiet..BUT once we have the answer someone HAS to post the Youtube Speed clip of this car. Nice post.

Oooh, while searching for that critter I found some very purdy cars including a Alfa Romeo 8C

 

[ponder]

Found it, Alfa Romeo Tipo 312 or 316

Nice, that one is the v16 tipo316 putting out 122kw/litre with a supercharger apparently.

 

[HammerDown]

Looks like a Boksburg DB6 Volante.

 

[Chingha]

Looks like an Italian Aston, haven't found anything yet though

Should that not be 87kW/l seeing it was a 3l engine giving 261kW?

There's an Alfa connection with this car in some way.

You are quiet right, I did see that in my wanderings but cannot source it.

 

[HammerDown]

No idea. So just guessing here
Looking at the dash and especially the painted/sticking out like a sore thumb gauge cluster it screams kitcar, so too the rear lights that has the bottom part painted white??
Twin pipes - V8??

 

[Fazda]

I wouldn't say kit car - that windscreen is very like a Daimler Dart - so whatever it is was designed towards the end of the 50's....................

 

[kilobits]

Crud... I stumbled across this looking for something earlier this week... dogknows where.

I remember the rear and thinking about the Mazda Cosmo... might this be related... off to Google it is.

Not a kit car. The company was still around till the 90's when it was taken over by another company and the brand disappeared.
Yes, it had a V8.

I can't actually find much information on this particular one. A renowned automotive engineer was at the head of the company and they also have a paris-Dakar win under their belt.
