Laat ik nou altijd niet beter geweten hebben dan dat een Sprint GTA uitsluitend leverbaar was in wit of rood...

Hoi Cor,Uit Ruoteclassiche (artikel '40 anni Alfa Romeo Giulia GT') over de Giulia (1600) GTA:
....La Giulia GTA è disponibile in due soli colori, Rosso Alfa e Biancospino..... Dat begrijpt iedereen, denk ik
Beide versies alleen in die kleuren dus, de 1300 had verder als kenmerk:
....con adesivi bianchi sulla carrozzeria Rosso Alfa e rossi sulla carrozzeria Biancospino....
Witte stickers op rode carrosserie en rode stickers op witte carrosserie.
Weer een geweldig leuke keuze van Starline. Hulde voor dit duitse merk dat minder voordehand liggende italiaanse modellen durft te maken waar nog nooit een ander modelmerk aan gedacht heeft.Twee betere foto's van Starline's 2000 Berlina van '57. Een beetje ouderwets grote overgang van carrosserie naar ruitpatij, maar voor de rest ziet hij er alleraardigst uit.
I was thinking of Mikansue or Auto Replicas, brands of the same period, but I discoverd here that this isn't right.I have a question maybe someone here can answer.
I recently bought a few old models of the 70s, including this one:
I thought it was John Day, but Day never issued a Tipo B (P3), according to all sources. There's no marking under it, except a painted sign (containing maybe a C) and what appears to be a # 48. It may or may not relate to the manufacturer catalogue number, or any identification making sense for who assembled it.
I don't know the P3 model itself, however I do have the 1930 P2 by Classic Cars. Two things strike me when I compare it to your P3. First, the wheels of the P2 are better: better tires and largers rims. Secondly, the P2 has a very clear inscription on the bottom. Detail level and finesse of the kits are very comparable, but then this was pretty much the standard for handbuilts in these years. So I think the odds are against Classic Cars.I have a question maybe someone here can answer.

I'm sure I have a picture of this very model somewhere, but it is definitely not in Rampini nor in the miniature magazine I have, and I failed to find back the pic which is impressed in my memory.
Browsing Fer's listing, the likely candidates might be Classic Cars or Plumbie Inter, as it is white metal and represents a 1934, cart sprung Tipo B (not the Stanley 1935 Dubonnet version, shown in the background).
Anyone owns the same and/or can identify it?
Thanks
