None of the chassis plates on the 6c2300As (solid rear axle cars) actually say Pescara. The 2 carb versions of these cars said Gran Turismo on the chassis plates. The name Pescara was used for the 2 carb cars after one of them won the sports car race at Pescara in 1934 driven by Cortese and entered by Scuderia Ambrosiana. According to Fusi, only 60 of these were built.

The later 6c2300B (rear swing axle) were first called Pescara, but later called Mille Miglia, after their class win in the that race. According to Fusi, 106 were built.

I believe the only difference bewteen the Pescara, and the standard 6C2300 was the dual carburettors, which is an important point for any review of Alfa Romeo engine lineage.

The twin-carb car was first used in the Pescara sports car races.

This car was also at the 2005 PB Concours.
