But not a Fiat or Trevisan...

The only thing I can find is that this Alfa was part of Ecurie La Meute from Geneva, driven by Raymond Hyvert. But I can't confirm that either the Ecurie or Hyvert was responsible for the body.

That's what I'm looking for. Raymond Hyvert Alfa Special.

One point for you.

Thanks for the point. Would be interesting to know if Hyvert as a driver was responsible for the body as well, can't find it anywhere. Any clues ?
