A new group puzzle with five coachbuilt cars.
I don't know the coachbuilders and in some of them I don't know also other infos, so:
UC1a : one point for make, model and coachbuilder - Castagna Alfa Romeo 6C 2300B - 75america
UC1b : one point for make, model and coachbuilder. I think this is a car with a complex story... - Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS restored by Juri Aljoshin - Wendax
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! - Alfa Romeo 3000 SS by Carrozzeria Amadei (??) - 75america
UC1d : one point for make, model and coachbuilder - Bugatti T49 by Pritchard & Demollin - fromwien
UC1e : one point for make, model and coachbuilder
An additional point if you can say where and when all the pics were shooted...
The puzzle isn't solved until I have all the coachbuilders!!!
Obviously I need proofs to give you the points...

I think this is a little difficult for rookies, and I move up early...
I hope nobody would blame me for it...

UC1e :Siata Amica 1939?
As I said before I don't know the cars, so you should prove it.
The year is correct so I locked it for you until your next reply.

OK, the original body should be Touring, but I think the front of this car is something different...
Locked for you until your next reply.

The badge on the radiator of uc1b looks diamond-shaped. Riley? If so it could be that rather special Riley built in France either immediately before or after WW2.
Just a feeling.
UC1e is a ------------------------------
sorry: it's still locked.
UC1a should be a 1938 Fiat 1500 with Viotti body and a later rebuilt front-end. Probably refurbished after a post-war accident.

UC1e :Siata Amica 1939 Bertone !
Quote from: SACO on June 29, 2011, 04:36:18 PM
UC1e :Siata Amica 1939 Bertone !
??? I'm not sure: many parts are quite similar, but the nose is definitely different. Perhaps a poor repairing after a small accident?

I'm not really sure about the poor repairing...the car in the picture is at an Elegance Concours, so I think it's something more then poor...but everything is possible...

I'm going away for a while...
You can do every discussion you want on these cars, and when I'll be back I'll see...

Up to the pros...

#1b: It is an Alfa Romeo 8 C 2500 SS, which was found with a destroyed body in Russia. It was rebuild by Juri Aljoshin using old photos.
Just to add a little to Wendax's reply above, here is a photo of the car and an extract from an article on classic cars in Moscow.
It was me who posted UC1c on that other interesting forum:
Alfa Romeo 3000 SS (???) by Carrozzeria Amadei
UC1a: Alfa is a 6C2300B by Castagna

Although a 8C 2500 SS never exist (it's most likely a 6C 2500), I give you the point...

:bag:
Thank you for the point.
Can you provide more infos on this car??
I think it was a Touring body...
MPC
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

UC1e - Dyna Panhard based?
UC1e bodied by Garavini ?

If you can prove it...
I don't know...
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?? ???
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...
