Saw a car I did not recognize today, parked outside a small independent garage.

Pretty certain it was an older Alfa.

It looked quite similar to this;



Except the back was a bit more rounded, and the lights were just small and rounded on the back corners.
Other than that, quite hard to describe as I couldn't see the front end.

Any ideas?

Not that I'm afraid.

Back end/lights were lower than that, little bit like the back of an E-type, but small rounded lights.

Not the Karmann Ghia.

Think that Duetto is the closest I've seen.
Still not sure, as the lights at the back were small and rounded.


Should also say, it was a hardtop.

Attempted a small paint job!

Not the best, but the rear was rounded like this.
And the tail lights weren't directly attached to the main part of the body work, as shown.
Definitely wasn't an E-Type Jag.



I will attempt to go out some time this week to get a picture of it, if possible.

That is a Cisitalia I saw in the Mille Miglia museum in Brescia. Quite rare!
