A little too egg shaped for my taste but still a nice design fitting for that time. Thanks John.

Wow! Now that IS different John. It has a little bit of a Studebaker look in the front there. And I agree with David; an egg-like form as the basis for design. Sure a costly little dickens. Thanks John!

At that price I will settle for a diecast of it.

that is one beautiful automobile. And it looks like there is a diecast on the way, also in the expensive bracket!

I always liked the unusual Zagato designs on those Alfa coupes.  This one is pretty tame compared to others.  If you don't like the cost of the Kess, there is a cheaper partworks available as well.  of course, it will be harder to find now that is no longer produced....  I do love the green color of both of these...
