John's triple shots inspired me to do my own.  Two concept cars + 1 production car.  Two resin + 1 diecast. Can you tell which is which?

Alfa Zender Dardo Spyder 3x

The silver one is a Zender Progetto Cinque 1995, by Alezan (resin) of France.  Zender did some crazy designs back in the 80s and 90s.

The red one is a Dardo from 1998.  Pininfarina designed it and worked with Sparco on some special racing seats - included in the diecast Metro partworks model.

Finally, the blue one is the production model - the 1995 Spider.  Made in resin in France by Provence Moulage.  They call it a Spyder with a y on the box, even though really only Ferrari used that spelling on their older open top cars.  Alfas were always Spiders with an i. 🤨

All nice, but I like the blue one the best. The other two are "different"
