Pettenella Leontina (was 4R Zagato)

[George Beston <gbeston@xxxxxxxx>]

The recent discussion of the 4R Zagato reminded me of another 6C 1750 
replicar that was mentioned in an old World Cars (published by the 
Automobile Club of Italy), so I looked it up.  It's in the 1976 issue.  
The name of it is Pettenella Leontina.  It was built on a channel 
section ladder frame and had solid axles front and rear with semi 
elliptic leaf springs and friction shocks.  The specifications table 
provided indicates that the rest of the running gear is all Alfa, using 
a two liter 4C engine.  Pictures show that the styling is remarkably 
like a 4th series 6C 1750 Zagato spider Gran Sport , complete with the 
folding windshield and right hand drive.  It's very close in appearance 
to the spider pictured in Fusi on page 158 (third edition).

Does anyone have evidence (independent of my source) of the existence 
of any examples of this car?
