ben68 ◊ 2006-04-09 12:23	Yes. I think Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B, ca 1937. TBC as this one has a special body. -- Last edit: 2006-04-09 12:32:15
Sunbar ◊ 2007-02-08 16:12	Identified as "Spider 2900 coachwork by Alfa Romeo" as shown here (last picture on this web-page). http://www.cromoclassico.com/eng/alfa_romeo.html The registration number is almost certainly the same as in the Poirot episode. (Part of the registration is visible in the thumbnail pictures.) The vehicle details for DLY 163 are: Date of Liability 01 02 2008 Date of First Registration 12 11 1981 Year of Manufacture 1937 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2905CC Vehicle Colour BLUE Picture of DLY 163 and a picture from the 'Poirot' crash scene. -- Last edit: 2007-02-11 10:52:56
antp ◊ 2007-02-08 17:56	Is it useful to precise that the coachwork is by Alfa, as it is already listed as an Alfa?
Sunbar ◊ 2007-02-08 18:19	Apparently in this case for an 8C coachwork by Alfa Romeo was very rare since almost all were bodied by Touring and of the Superleggeria (super-light) construction or a few other coachbuilders and not Alfa Romeo. -- Last edit: 2007-02-11 10:52:25
Sunbar ◊ 2007-02-08 19:43	The red car in the 'panorama' thumbnail picture is almost certainly an Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B by Touring from the distinctive louvre arrangement on the bonnet sides and top as below. Its a pity the Poirot episode does not show the car in full because I think it really looks a stunning car. I've looked at the episode a number of times and a better view is just not possible.

hiergehts ◊ 2007-02-11 09:45	Beautiful lines, whomever the coachmaker...
sandy1000 ◊ 2010-08-31 02:48	As it is an ALFA 2900 it is extremely desireable. How can it have been damaged for the purpose of making the film? A mock-up perhaps?
