I took this photograph at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1985.
It's a 1931 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza which has an 8-cylinder inline 2,336cc engine designed by Vittorio Jano. It gained the 'Monza' name by winning the 1931 Italian Grand Prix at Monza driven by Tazio Nuvolari and Giuseppi Campari, and Tazio Nuvolari also won the 1931 and 1932 Targa Florio races in one of these cars. Originally designed as a racing car it was later also produced as a road car.
