Can you identify this car (make, model and coachbuilder) and what's strange in this picture?

1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport by Figoni.

The petrol filler cap is on the wrong side.

The body of this Alfa Romeo was made by Giuseppe Figoni alone, before Ovidio Falaschi became his partner in 1935.
Also the car is Gran Sport not GT.
Thank you for the point.

I think you're right. I got the picture from a site that reported this car as Concours winner at Villa d'Este, and probably the capture was wrong about Falaschi; then, the car is indeed a GS and not a GT, this is only a my tiping mistake, sorry.

I apologize, I didn't remember this rule. I did to avoid GSI, but in this case the imagine didn't change apart from the position of the petrol filler cap.
