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.
