This car competed in the HGPCA
Pre '52 GP Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at
Silverstone in July 1995.
It's the 1935 Alfa Romeo 8C-35
of Paul Grist and has an 8-cylinder 3,822cc engine with twin overhead
camshafts. It was built to challenge the Mercedes Benz and Auto Union cars but
never beat the German cars in a top level Grand Prix, although it did succeed
in doing so in a number of smaller races in the hands of the legendary Tazio
Nuvolari.
