the Palm Beach is the Coupe IIRC, and I have never seen that. I got many 340 Americas so you have to be more specific. Is the Ghia Alfa the Ghia Aigle?

[:Exige:]

To me it looks like a meld of an Austin Healey 3000 (Front), AC Cobra (Rear arches), Mercedes 300SL (Side) and a Volvo P1300 from "the Saint". In all, that makes for quite the eye candy

I was referring to the ones that were on the auction block at RM's this summer. But thanx for the Ghia Aigle bodied 1900

are you sure there was one at RM? The only Alfa I took was this humble P3, and unfortunately I had no flash...

No I did not, here is the Palm Beach (mediocre quality though...)

but I did not shoot the Alfa....

and finally a very poor one on the 340 America, again with no flash avaible, so the aperture fooled me.
