I saw this car a couple of years ago; it has plate CT 20766, instruments from Fiat 6c 1500, and howful (in my opinion) white leather upholstery. As always when there is no picture of a one-off coming from its past history I have some doubt about the fact it is not a replica; I know it has ASI plate, but this is not enought to switch off all my doubts. The only think I'm sure is that Revelli di Beaumont never drew such dramatic doors.

:thumbsup: I agree 100% with you! Nothing is known about the past of this car, actually.
I had it ready for my next puzzle!

(I think Revelli de Beaumont 'inspired' this design, but that's just my opinion ;))

I found a couple of period pics and some designs by Revelli de Beaumont.
One of them shows a rendering of the Carrozzeria AR Omnia Motor Auto building with a nice car.
I'm sure there will be a nice encyclopedia with more info pretty soon ;)
