1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza Spyder

    Alfa Romeo has competed successfully in Grand Prix motor racing, Formula One, sportscar racing, touring car racing and rallies. It has competed both as a constructor and an engine supplier via works entries and private entries.

    The first racing car was made in 1913, three years after the foundation of the company. Alfa Romeo won the inaugural world championship for Grand Prix cars in 1925. The race victories gave a sporty image to the marque. Enzo Ferrari founded the Scuderia Ferrari racing team in 1929 as an Alfa Romeo racing team before becoming independent in 1939. It has had the most wins of any marque in the world.

    The 8C 2300 was built between 1931 and 1933. One of 188 Alfa 8C 2300s, only 10 were the Monza version. It is powered by a water-cooled, double-overhead-cam, bi-block, 2446cc (2.56 liter) straight-eight engine. Basically, it was two-four cylinder engines set back-to-back and had a top speed of 140 mph.

    It was first driven by Algerian driver Guy Moll in 1933 Grand Prix races. In 1934, ownership passed to Swiss driver Hans Reusch, who raced it with Ulrich Mang in the 1934 Mille Miglia (DNF) and twice at Nurburgring. Following Maag's tragic death, Ruesch raced in the 1935 Mille Miglia with co-driver Guatta, and finished fourth.

    In the late 1940s, the car was crashed heavily and broken up. In the 1950s, the 8C engine, gearbox and back axle were purchased by Lord Ridley and fitted to an Alfa 6C 1750. Years later, this complete driveline was purchased at auction, still on the 1750 chassis. After extensive research, the original Brianza chassis was found, still in Switzerland, where it had been used as a hay cart. D.L. George Coachworks, in a full-scale restoration, reunited the original driveline and chassis.

    The car was most recently restored in 2018.
