We are a little ashamed of it. Not of the car covered by this post, but of the fact that, although we consider ourselves connoisseurs (but not experts) of the brand, we have never seen or heard of this Alfa before. Oh well, you never stop learning.

When we read “2300” in the title of the ad, our thoughts flew directly to the Alfas produced in the 1930s, but then we found ourselves in front of this car with a clear relationship with the Alfetta, but not produced by Alfa Romeo but by the Brazilian FNM (Fábrica Nacional de Motores was a manufacturer of engines and motor vehicles based in the Xerém district of Duque de Caxias near Rio de Janeiro that operated between 1942 and 1988) under their license.

This model, equipped with a 2300 c.c. of the same four-cylinder used for the first time 24 years earlier on the Alfa 1900, it seems a cross between an alfetta and an Alfa 6: the beauty is that in 1974 the Alfa 6 had not yet been presented on the market, although it was already in planning. The conditions appear to be very good: it does not dismember a restored car but is well preserved and nothing seems to be missing, even if we have doubts about the correctness of the rims; Not a beautiful car but certainly a great talking point for fans of the marque. Find it for sale at $9,934 here in Brasil, South America.
