[João]

Not if you can believe what a listing on Hemmings (and eBay) says...

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.

[João]

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

One point for you.

[mekubb]

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 ?
