'Grandmother was navigating...'

Remember last Monday's BGO 242, the 1750 Zagato Gran Sport? We thought it a shame not to show you these very vintage color photo's that are about 4 years older (!) than Monday's B&W ! Current owner Dermot Johnson writes: "My Grandfather Dermot Johnson bought the car in 1939 from Jack Barclay in London. He went over to buy a blown Frazer Nash but test drove the blown 1750 Alfa and went for it instead. He competed in 1947 Circuit of Ireland rally with my Grandmother navigating and finished 7th. He sold the car in 1950 and the family bought it back in 1980. Still on the road with the occasional rally, autotest, hillclimb and race. It looks very much the same with a small luggage rack." See the car in an Irish street scene (Cork) and in the most perfect rally setting at the top of the Tim Healey Pass. People don't take original Zagato's no longer to lovely places like this. But prove that we are wrong, you are most welcome.. ;-)
