Title: Series 3 "Tipo Bocca" at Sotheby's Amelia Island auction
Post by: nthomas1 on 27 February, 2017, 04:18:32 PM
Today's edition of the Sports Car Digest newsletter features some of the cars to be auctioned in March at Amelia Island.  To me the highlight is the "Tipo Bocca" Astura.  I draw your attention to this because of the 30 or so high definition photographs of the car, including 3 of it back in the 1930s.  The pictures can be seen at the Sotheby's website at rmsothebys.com. I've included one as I'm sure Sotheby's won't mind me publicising the auction!

The steering column is unusual. 

Is the grill badge a one off?  Seemed unfamiliar.
