ALFA Disco Volante

**Bob Zambelli** · #1 01-18-2005, 07:35 AM

Hello, ALFA enthusiasts!

Somewhere in my "stuff", I have a very old article on a particular "Disco" that was a street version with a very unique sliding glass roof. Pretty sure it was a one-off. I think it was powered by a 6-cylinder engine, possibly a 6C-2300????

Does anyone know about this car? Does it still exist? From the photos, it was absolutely magnificent.

I'd like to find out more about it.

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it's featured on the ALFA episode of Victory by Design. Kind of cool, has a rear plate stating "Museo Historica" - or something similar, as Alain deCadenet takes her around a closed course.

And all this time, I thought the "Disco Volante" was the boat in "Thunderball."

Nah, you're thinking of the nerd's car in "Your Four Eyes Only"

I thought all of the DVs were one-offs.

But they did spawn the styling of both the later Duettos and the Ferrari 330GTS.

I also posted this question in the vintage Ferrari section and recieved some great responses and photos - check them out.
There are some very knowledgeable people responding.
