Is the Alfa 1900SS Zagato the same car as was shown at Pebble Beach as a preservation car?
No. The PB car was 100% correct, whereas the Gooding car had had an engine change. This was declared in the auction information, so a very strong price in the circumstances.
I’m surprised you didn’t highlight the exceptionally original 1961 Ferrari 250 Series II Cabriolet sold for $2,250,000 and quite possibly the bargain of the bunch
