I know it's an Alfa, but.....

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. 😍

I’m a prat sometimes, you said in your post. Giulia TZ2. Wow.

[Damp Logs]

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.

Just looked again 3000 CM

Thanks - I HATE not being able to identify a car she spots!!!

V8 Fastback - what's the other thread you mention?

[RicksAlfas]

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.

Great, thanks for that - can't let my daughter get the better of me!!

I believe Fangio raced this one too?

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