There are at last two Alfas pictured, one is a 6C 1750 GS Zagato and the other, from the engine pics is an 8C 2300.

Its beautiful with a beautiful setting around it. Duesy's are wonderful cars.

He has 2 Alfas. I believe he sold a 2300 8C last year. I'm lacking in knowledge of the pre WWII Alfas. Thanks for pointing that out.

Meanwhile, here are a couple more shots, starting with some odd machines that were there.

That Duesenberg is absolutely stunning, I have yet to come across one in person but every single one I've seen on the net have been works of art

As for the Duesenberg, I think a wheelbase is a bit too short for Duesey. Because of this it strongly reminds me of MG TD.

WHAT IN THE **** DOES THAT MEAN?

Last I checked the MG TD had classic sportscar proportions.

The wood-bodied Dusenberg is a rare work of bespoke art. It's ****ing brilliant and 'Quail supports it 100%.

You just don't see these cars anymore unless someone unloads chateau-building chunks of change on them. 'Quail says it's well worth it.

Beautiful cars. I'd take the red one, but all that brilliant woodwork speaks for itself, loudly.

Three 'Squawks' for each. Great photos, great work in submitting them here. It's not fallen on deaf ears.

Cheers, and I hope you post often.

Gotta love those classics from the 20-30's. they don't have a big enough following compared to 50's and 60's era cas.

Long as always
I'm just saying that in my opinion Duesenberg should have a longer wheelbase

Hello Wouter,

Yep, an 8C for sure. And if I am not mistaken, does it have a double compressor? (one hidden behind the steeringbox?), a short chassis and a body by Zagato. I looked in 'The legendary 2.3' by Simon Moore but couldn't single out a car with a numberplate that looks like the one that we can see part of in one of the photographs.

Ciao, Olaf

I like it. There were 2 other short wheelbase supercharged Dueseys made.... officially.

Thank you That's it, I guess - long wheelbase and strong look

You know, I've just read that the body of that Duesenberg in a first post was designed by Franay...
