Spyder Chassis Num: 2111042   Chassis number 2111042 was given a road-car body after its racing career ended. The work was performed by Papler in German. By the 1960s, the car was given another body - a replica Monza body. In the 1990s, the Monza was treated to a restoration. After the work was completed, the car was shown at the 1999 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The early history of the car believes to include racing as a Works Monza. Alfa Romeo used the car in early 1932 and was later sold to Raymond Sommer who continued its Grand Prix racing career, as well as competing in sports car races. In Sommers capable hands, the car was victorious at the 1932 GP de Marseille. The car was later sold to Juan Zanelli, an amateur Chilean racer, who raced it with some success over the years that followed. In modern times, the 8C Monza is regularly exercised in historic racing.
