Hi
My daughter sent me this photo, taken at the weekend in NYC, as part of a parade.

Can any of the collective share their knowledge?

Copied from other thread: (strangely I was initially stood pretty much next to your daughter in that case)
There was a large Alfa presence in the Columbus Day parade, for what reason I'm not entirely sure.

I accidentally stumbled upon the parade, and certainly didn't expect to see any of these beauts.
Classic alfas, a TZ2, 6C 3000, and I believe a tipo P3? (Now have been corrected, it's a 8C Monza)

Brightened up a rainy NYC, and the noise when they opened them up was incredible.

And a video I took. I don't know why it uploaded in such poor quality - but you get the idea! https://youtu.be/ovjj44Ro1WI

Feels like I should know, but what is the first one? Probably one of the prettiest cars I’ve seen, at least definitely the prettiest that has slipped under my radar.

Good lord. 😍

Wow!!
I thought it would be a bit off the wall, but pistonheads gets everywhere😀😀😀😀

But I still don't know the model of the car with 22 on the door.

My daughter obviously needs a lesson in photogaraphy cos her pic doesn't show it in the best light - looks much better proportioned in other pics.

It's a 6c 3000 CM.

6c means 6 cylinders and confusingly the capacity is a 3,495cc, not the 3,000 you might expect.

They only made 4 Spiders and 2 Coupes like this one, all intended for competition use, so rare as well as beautiful.

By coincidence this came up on my twitter feed today. More on the Goodwood site. Seems to be the spider version
