Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000 GT Colani

["Ben Bishop" <la_strega_nera@domain.elided>]

Okay, obscure alfa romeo history time...
Someone (sorry, I forgot who) posted the link to some photos of some of the 
cars in 'Collezione Rosso Bianco', and among the Abarths and Alfas of the 
first page were some photos of a most interesting looking little beastie, 
titled as being an Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000 GT Colani. Okay, what the hell is 
it?? Is it the precursor to the Alfa TZs? Whats the deal with the exhausts 
exiting the "wrong side"? I remember reading about the Sportiva coupe that 
the exhaust had to exit on the right hand side by law, hence the bulge for 
the muffler on the left hand side of the car, with the pipe crossing over 
and exiting on the right?
I'm guessing early sixties by the nose that copies the 'sharknose' Ferrari 
F1.
Thanks
