Not an Isotta Fraschini,Bugatti,or Lancia ....and not a Stabilimenti Farina or Pininfarina body.

Take a look at the shape....

Fiat 2800 with Touring body

I would say Fiat and Touring as well, but rather a 1937 1500/6 Berlinetta. The engine doesn't seem to be that big...

Yes! It's a Fiat made by Touring.Now I need a proof that it's a 2800,and I need the year too.

Yes Allemano...I don't think so it's a 2800..they were produced between 1938 and 1944...(not the year that I have)
I believe it's a 1500 too...
Title: Re: JPG #89
Post by: Wendax on March 02, 2011, 01:32:23 PM
It probably is a 1500/6 from 1937.
Title: Re: JPG #89
Post by: João on March 02, 2011, 01:45:28 PM
No,it's newer...look the rear window,it's smaller...

I'll add more pictures

This one's from 1938:

It's hard to say something definite about the windows as the roof got distorted.

This one's from 1949, still not the right rear window.

I believe it's from late 40s... and it's not an Aerlux

Here they are :

In Sannia's book there is a picture of a 1500D berlinetta Superleggera of 1948...I'll try to upload it.

Your pic shows the same car as I have shown two posts above, just from upfront  ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: JPG #89

Yes,and it's an Aerlux...the trunk is smaller too

Post by: Paul Jaray on March 02, 2011, 03:07:22 PM
You are right...that is not from Sannia's book, of course, but it's just the same.
I'll try to upload the 2 versions of the 2800, then...these 2 versions have a similar back, different from the one you (we) posted...

Fiat 1500 6C Berlinetta Aerodinamica from 1937
And the coachbuilder was Touring, as you all have found.

I'm sorry, but Mussolini never owned a Fiat 2800, just 2 Alfas.

Let's move this one : I'll give the point to Wendax.

It's a 2800 by Touring from 1940 like this model here.The owner found some information about it!

Chassis & suspension is quite different on 2800 compared to backbone chassis & Dubonnet units of 1500.
