A beefed-up 159 prototype

Or

More likely an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

If i had the money I'd love one, bloody nice looking car I reckon. Although Jeremy Clarkson reckons they don't corner too well. Still he did say you have to have owned an Alfa to be a true petrol head

A heap pile of dung....particularly if it was owned by Guiseppe the Maifa enforcer.....cos someone has stolen the rest of it.

Typical Alfa-Romeo. A brilliant little engine but the rest of the car has disintegrated around it.

interesting photo, i wonder what it was taken from?
and as for the alfa, another successful alfa product that only fits short arsed italians, they don't put the roof far enough away from where you put your bum for my liking.

Probably on a tripod in a studio! And then they started work.

I'd never really had much to do with Alfas. I'd heard all the stuff about funny driving positions. I didn't believe it until I sat in a Brera at the motor show.

Quite bizarre how people can ignore ergonomics in this modern day.
