    Finally, the last of the 1900 Alfas represented on the 1954 decal sheet: The car of Guatemalan David Cerezo who plunged off a bridge and wrecked his car totally.

    As I could not find any color pics on the internet, I tried to approximate the colors to the drawing of a Netherland Alfa Romeo club magazine:

    Very nice work!!! Here are the wheels for the models. These are made for the old Hachette Alfa Romeo 1/24th 1900 model. Quattroroute did the model via newsstands in Italy and it comes in grey and black, so repaint as required. I still sell the decals for this car and several other cars. Try ebay for the model.

    Too bad the mods couldn’t put this thread together as a book.

    Original car with silver roundels and red numbers. The restorer who is British should read Ferrarichat more often :)

    More restoration photos of the Alfa 2500 on Gerardo facebook. This restoration required several cars to complete. I would call it a very good replica of the car using another almost identical 2500 as the main donor along with several parts cars.

    The crashed car at the Pan Am 1951 that was rebodied with a fiberglass body and given a new motor in Mexico. Not sure how many if any parts from the original car went into the restoration.

    This must be 1953, Tom (Hans Herrmann and Jaroslav Juhasz were the class winners in 1954)
