Not something you will see every day or possibly ever.
A few years ago a guy contacted me and said that he had a suspect carb on his car. After a chat he agreed to send it to me for assessment. When I received it I realised 2 things, the spindle was very worn and that it was a Weber 26IMB 5 which I did not know existed. The guy then told me that it came from an Autobianchina Cabriolet that he needed to move. I said that the carb needed to have the spindle rebushed which I offered to do best ut he opted for a rebuilt standard carb that I had ready to go. We did a px deal and this carb has been in my garage ever since.
Decided to work on it today so sorted out a better spindle and rebushed the body so it is now going back together. I had not noticed before but it has the enlarged Venturi size of 22 actually on the casting as opposed to the normal 21.
