It was me who posted UC1c on that other interesting forum:
Alfa Romeo 3000 SS () by Carrozzeria Amadei

The first point is yours...but this mistery car is still open:

UC1c : I have a make and model (and coachbuilder) which I believe not true: one point for them but another point if you can give me proofs this is or this is not the correct ID of that car!

I just know it from the very magazine article woodinsight posted, sorry.

The Bugatti it's from 1931.

Former owner : Reiffers (L)

I believe it was bodied by Van den Plas -Belgium.I know it's not the same pattern but...

Another picture and a 1931 Delage to compare :

Ex Touring Cabriolet : Another picture

Amadei Alfa Romeo 3000 SS...
During my research for Alfa Romeo "fuoriserie" I've found the article about the Alfa 3000 by Amadei-Feliciangeli...
I post it... it looks like this is really a special one-off home-built Alfa, built on a 3000cc chassis (??)...
Maybe the car was based on a 2500SS chassis (the wheelbase is indeed short...) but this is quite a mistery... or maybe it had a nodified engine? Or it was a real 3000CM chassis which in some way was puchased by mr. Feliciangeli??

mekubb · August 04, 2014, 04:20:41 PM

UC1e looks pretty much like a 1939 Siata Amica 500 by Bertone, see enclosed pic for comparison.

Similar... indeed... but doubtless another car... so who knows if it's Bertone too??

Some better pictures have appeared of this car. It appears to be based on a 6C 2500 by Touring.

Great thank you! The grille it's indeed Mercedes...
