Ever, no one knew where the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 left off. The car is from 1932 and then the still, just the globe disappear. Especially if you hidden had to be for the germans.

The Alfa, under the hood is an eight-in-line which help of a compressor, is officially ‘unveiled’ by the English ‘Royal Automobile Club’. Such a society, based on the name undoubtedly rich in tweed jackets.

Five years ago, the car was rediscovered, but now is apparently the time is ripe shall be deemed to be its newness to the world and the story there to tell. And, with this type of car at this advanced age, sets the story never disappoints.

As it went in that time, the carriage of this Alfa is made by a ‘coachbuilder’, in this case, the French Figoni. The car has chassis number 2211079 and it is thus the only one with a shorter chassis.

The first owner was a certain mr. Weinberg, that the car used for which it was intended. He wrote the car up twice for the rally Paris-Nice in 1933 and 1934. Since most of the current buyers of (Italian) exotics still learn a lot from.

After this hard work sold Weinberg the car to a no doubt rich man, the car a gift deed to his son for his 21st birthday. P. diddy eat your heart out. However, just as in Zealand in the summer, there were at that time, suddenly above-average amount of Germans moved to France and the owner thought it wise to get the car to hide. Before you know it, scratches, as a soldier, after all, with his key on the paintwork of such a poenige bake.

After the war the car was just used before for reasons unknown, permanently parked. Parked but not sold, because in the end, turned out to be the at that time 21-year-old car 70 years of age in possession to have held.

That dwell does a car no good, but now the car is in a beautiful state, as you can see in the gallery.
