Alfa Romeo 1942 6C2500 Berlinetta Aerodyne cowl lf ft Richard Mattei’s 1942 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Berlinetta Aerodynamica originally wore a spyder body. In 1945, it was acquired by Donald A. Jones, an American living in northern Italy. Jones, it turns out, was an OSS agent, code-number 809 and code-named “Scotti,” who was a liaison with the Italian resistance movement and played an heroic role at the end of World War II. Jones survived the war but the Alfa’s body did not. It reportedly was transformed into a coupe before former Chrysler designer David Cummins was commissioned to do the Aeodynamica-inspired coachwork, which was completed by the Jim Stokes Workshops in England
