Easy bit - Alfa.

Edit - 6C 3000 CM, chassis 00125, registered MI 212039. Originally bodied as a coupe by Colli. Factory 1953 Mille Miglia entry and driven by Fangio at Le Mans; crashed, rebodied by Zagato as a coupe and then turned into a spyder. Raced by Scuderia Bonnier, hence the paint:

That's the car, yes, after it was rebuilt (by Zagato I believe) following its accident.
It now has a different nose, which I believe it acquired also around 1956 but no-one really seems to know why; perhaps it had a cooling problem with the original nose.
