Odd, a bit gaudy and very cool somehow. Superb model. You've listed all the things I like about it! A car I was unaware of until Brausi modelled it. Can't help but see similarities between it and the forthcoming Matrix El Camino concept from the previous year. BTW Paulius are you at the Nuremberg fair this year? |

A few months ago I posted a pic of the Matrix Alfa 33 Spider Cuneo stating that it just about completed my collection of 1970's Italian concepts. I did say just about and this is one of the reasons I added that proviso... Alezan Alfa Romeo Eagle Spider Pininfarina 1975     Not one of the Italian concept greats but nice enough and it does have reverse rake rear screen.  It came on a nice rainbow custom base - not as a celebration of the LGBTQA+ community but simply a representation of the the stand that the car appeared on at it's introduction at the 1975 Turin show. |

I like the custom base! Not that much the car though - one of those weird old concepts that somehow did not age well..
Good model/build, though, and congrats on getting a rare piece! I have had several chances to get one (although never in such a good build quality) but never actually pulled the trigger as I wasn't really fan of this design.

It couldn't be more '70s if it came in bell-bottomed pants and with a big moustache.  I love everything about this: the shape, the colour, every little detail. Great addition! |

Nice! I’ve always liked that concept!...Though I must confess that I have a taste for the unusual!  |

Very much so Paul. I need this one badly! |

To me it seems like Pininfarina were trying to copy Bertone with this one... The rainbow base can only hint to the Bertone Rainbow. I'll pass on this one. Obscure curiosity. But nice you could add a model of it!

I'm not really a fan of this design either which is why I have never added it previously but this was a nice factory build and a gap filler at a time when their wasn't much else around. I'm glad I got it, it's really grown on me.  My aim isn't to make anyone jealous just maybe a little envious. And the seventies were of course the epitome of style. Trouble is, it's not quite unusual enough for a concept. Still as I said it's really grown on me. |

But nice you could add a model of it! Ironically the Rainbow arrived the year after the Eagle.  Anyway, here is the Rainbow as modelled by Auto Creation....    |

Suitably weird, but I prefer the previous model's aesthetics.

Like them both, and have since first seeing the Rainbow as about a 9 year old! Very much a symbol of extremes from a certain time in auto design.

Looks like a bastard love child of an Alfa Romeo GTV and a Porsche 914/6. I wonder how many orders they took at the Turin Show  . |
