This was one of the participants in the Cheshire Life Concours D'Elegance at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2005.

It's Michael Crowley-Milling's 1931 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Zagato with the 8-cylinder inline 2,336cc engine. It competed in several Grand Prix races in the early 1930s, most notably driven by Tazio Nuvolari when Enzo Ferrari controlled Alfa Romeo's racing Programme. The car has three different chassis numbers and changes to its bodywork to allow it to take part in sports car racing (including the 1932 Mille Miglia), and in that year was given the chassis number 2111044 which it still retains. In 1938 Michael Crowley-Milling persuaded his father to buy the car for him as a 21st birthday present and he retained the car until just before his death in 2012.
