Alfa Romeo BAT 9 Concept Car

This is a photograph I took at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

It's one of the three Alfa Romeo BAT cars produced between 1953 and 1955, BAT 5, BAT 7 and BAT 9, and this is the 1955 car, BAT 9. They were part of the Coys auction which was held on the Saturday evening of the weekend-long meeting. The BAT here stands for Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica and the cars were built in a joint project by Alfa Romeo and the Italian coachbuilding firm Bertone, being largely the brainchild of Franco Scaglione of Bertone.
