1934 Alfa Romeo P3

This was one of the competitors in the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy Race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.

It's Rodney Felton at Lodge Corner during the race in his 1934 Alfa Romeo P3. The P3 was introduced in 1932 with a twin-supercharged 2,654cc straight-8 engine which by 1935 had been enlarged to 3,165cc. By then, with the exception of Tazio Nuvolari's victory in the German Grand Prix that year (with the engine further enlarged to 3,822cc), the car was unable to match the Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz cars

On 14 February 2019 I showed a photograph of this car at Silverstone in 2000.
