Default Alfa 2900B "Corto"

Nice resto.
And best congratulations on taking Peb'l.


I've seen that car in old photos many times. Always wondered when it would make it onto the Peb'l reviewing stand.

Same with the Flying Star that finally made it a couple few years back.


Some images of another 2900 B that made it onto the Peb'l stand some time back ...

Yeehaw. Nice to see them being restored and shown in public.
