1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B MM Spyder

Coachwork by Touring

This 1938 Alfa Romeo 2900B MM is one of four created by Alfa Romeo to compete in the 1938 Mille Miglia race. It was powered by an engine that produced an impressive 255 horsepower and fitted into an advanced chassis that featured an independent adjustable suspension.

This is the actual car that won the 1938 Mille Miglia race. It was driven by Clemente Biondetti, an individual who would have a very distinguished racing career, winning the World Formula One Championship in 1950 driving a Ferrari 166S. He won the Mille Miglia in 1938, and 1947-1949. He won the Targa Florio on two occasions, 1948 and 1949.

The current resting place for this car is the Simone Foundation Museum located in Philadelphia, PA.
