I actually meant 'did Bizzarrini style it?', as there are cues in the general style and on the side window shapes to suggest this. Of course, now that he has been ruled out, that was a mistaken idea. :D

I just have the name of the coachbuilder, not of a designer.

One of the many Alfas (a 1900?) built by Colli of Milan in the early '50's ('52-'53)?

Wendax · January 14, 2015, 03:17:13 AM

Yes, an Alfa Romeo 1900 by Colli.
One more point for you.

Now I know where the inspiration for the Effeffe Berlinetta came from.
I tried hard to find it but without success, and Effeffe's website makes no acknowledgement of the design they cribbed whatsoever!

Be careful with this identification... I'm almost sure this is a quite recent "replica"... some kind of evocative project without a real historic background... like the ATL
If you have real proof that this is original (like period pictures...) it's great... but I don't think so...

Indeed the designer of the Effe Effe has not invented anything... ::)
