Press Release Automobilia Ladenburg 15th/16th May 2020 RUDOLF CARACCIOLA Estate Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to be able to present you with the first catalogue of 2020. In total, around 3,500 lots are on offer, including over 200 lots from the estate of Rudolf Caracciola, including driver contracts, written correspondence, photo albums, and many unique documents from the three-time European champion’s unparalleled racing career. The memorabilia on offer here is on the market for the first time and documents this unique racing career. Just to give you a small taste of what is coming up, we can show you the driver contract between Rudolf Caracciola and Alfa Romeo (Alfa Corse) here. After Daimler Benz AG’s exit from racing, Caracciola decided to start 1932 with an Alfa Romeo P3. In addition to this, there are also unique pieces from the estate of Günther Molter, including the contract between Molter and Daimler Benz AG for the 1952 Carrera Panamerica. His extensive photo archive has been categorised according to the individual car manufacturers. We are also happy to be able to present you with a prospectus and catalogue collection of a total of more than 15,000 pieces. You can find almost all manufacturers here... Of course, you can also find the usual rare posters, replacement parts and automobile rarities, such as the “Circuito de Cremona 1924” winner’s trophy, Antonio Ascari in an Alfa Romeo P2… — but we don’t want to give away too much here! The catalogue is available online now and, as usual, also to available to order as a printed book. .

  • Story of the Alfa Romeo Factory and Plants : Part 1 the Early Portello
    Story of the Alfa Romeo factory and plants: Part 1 The early Portello Factory Patrick Italiano Special thanks go to Karl Schnelle, Indianapolis, USA, for his patient proofreading and editing of the English version of this text Over the last few years, we have had to deal with large changes in Alfa Romeo-related places and buildings, as we witnessed the destruction of the old Portello factory, step by step in the late 80s, and also the de-commissioning of the much more modern Arese plant. Sad tales and silly pictures of places and people once full of pride in manufacturing the most spirited cars in the world. As reported by historians, it has long been – and still is for few – a source of pride to belong to this “workers aristocracy” at A.L.F.A.. Places recently destroyed to make place for concrete buildings now containing commercial centres or anonymous offices, places where our beloved cars were once designed, developed and built. It’s often a mix of curiosity and thrill to have the chance to look behind the scenes and see into the sanctuary. Back in 1987, when the first part of Portello was being torn down, Ben Hendricks took us on a visit to the Portello plant in Het Klaverblaadje #40. That was, as Jos Hugense coined the title 15 years later, the “beginning of the end”. Today, one can see Alfas running on the Fiat assembly lines along with Fiat Stilos and at best Lancia Thesis. These Fiat plants are no longer the places where distinguished and passionate brains try to anticipate technical trends five years into the future, thus ensuring that the new generation of Alfas keep such high company standards, as Ing.

El francés de Nápoles Oficialmente nuestra historia comenzó el 24 de junio de 1910, con la fundación de la A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili). Pero vamos a empezar unos años antes, con un personaje colorido: un francés con un bigote de manillar y un instinto sobresaliente para los negocios. Pierre Alexandre Darracq comenzó su carrera dirigiendo una fábrica de bicicletas en Burdeos, antes de enamorarse de los automóviles. Así, comenzó a producir automóviles en Francia y hacer un éxito de la misma. Luego decidió exportar la apertura de sucursales en Londres y luego Italia. En Italia comenzó sus operaciones, en abril de 1906. Pero Nápoles estaba muy lejos de Francia y el viaje era complejo y costoso. Así, en diciembre había transferido la producción a Milán, en el número 95 en el distrito de Portello. Pero junto con las dificultades logísticas se dio cuenta de que también había problemas de mercado.

  • ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.
