Introduction
I'm still doing research on these Alfas. Let me know about any mistakes.

1935 Alfa Romeo Tipo C,
8C-35 included race cars campaigned by Scuderia Ferrari. The car shown
is Peter Giddings #50013 shown at the 2003 Palo Alto Concours
d'Elegance. Peter says, "Perhaps 50013's greatest success was when it was
driven by the great Nuvolari to a miraculous victory at The Coppa
Cieno. Contemporarily described as his finest drive ever, Novolari
retired his Alfa Romeo Tipo C 12C-36 after only two laps with a broken
transaxle. Novolari arrived back at the pits on foot and had Pintacuda
in his works 8C-35 (50013) pulled in. By the time Novolari got away
in a car which did not fit him at all well, he was seven laps down
on the the entire field. Driving like a man possessed, Novolary
overtook all of his team mates, and the rest of the opposition,
including the entire Auto Union team, to an unbelievable win." |

This '57 Alfa
Giulietta was mine in 1962-3 and causes me to look with envy at
similar models at car shows ever since. Click on the image for a
Spyder gallery. |

There were a few GTA coupe
made with an aluminum body car build for racing. The first example
shown, however, has a steel body. Also in this gallery is an aluminum
bodied GTA race car. |
