CAR GENESIS

May 19, 2018

STARTING POINT
Of the 1929 Zanussi Alfa Romeo 1100 Sport, chassis no. 0211463, despite being a known car and part of an important museum (Nicolis), there was an incorrect dating and genesis.

RESEARCH
The investigation work on one-off cars, especially the so-called "etceterinis", is always delicate. The use of innovative techniques in research, such as the latest evolutions of the well-known OCR system that allows us to acquire an impressive amount of data that has never been digitized so far, in a short time, has led us to a correct dating and genesis, which also contemplates the original presence of an Alfa Romeo derived engine, of which we do not was aware. For this reason, the car is dated 1929, the year of production of the original engine, albeit assembled in 1949.
