There's an Italian connection but it wasn't built in Italy.

That's what they try to pass it off as, yes.
But it's not an Alfa, certainly not an original one!

I can find lots of info about these "replica" cars, but not this one. They're generally known as Alfa Romeo 1900 barchetta, and they're made in Argentina from old 1900 sedans. They tend to be sold in Europe in the hope of convincing buyers that they are "local" - the Belgium connection is typical, the ad is in Italian, and they've also been advertised in France.

On the other hand , I could be wrong..... :bag:.....

No, you are on the right track.  It was most probably made in Argentina and it does seem someone has been trying to pass it off as an Alfa 1900 Barchetta, but it does have an Italian connection as I mentioned before (not an Alfa 1900 saloon).

So still a bit more digging to do!

Thanks  ;)

PS - The JK was the previews name of the 2000, and actually the 2300 was not a JK...

OK.  In that case it was based on an FNM 2300, which is what I had but I thought they all came under the JK umbrella..  I'll modify the title.
