    August 2016 Volume 3 Issue 8 Editorial Comments: With summer coming to an end be sure to check out the loaded fall season we have planned for the balance of 2016. There are more things to do and events than ever. Alfa Romeo Selection of the Month for August 2016. Car Name: 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Touring Spider – not your average spider! Alfa Article: The Montreal Finally gets Respect Note: Curtisey Road & Track The Alfa Romeo Montreal Is Cooler Than Most Ferraris The Montreal is probably the greatest oddball of the seventies. A friend of mine has a beautiful black Alfa Romeo Montreal. He calls her Lukrécia, and the car works as flawlessly as such a machine can—because it lives at Alfarium, a shop where they can deal with its dry-sump 2.6 liter V8's crazy SPICA fuel injection and all the wiring that wasn't quite finished at the factory. That's why I trust them with my Autobianchi, a slightly less complex beast. Lukrécia even made it to the pages of Petrolicious before, but now, it was time for photographer/illustrator TJ Grewal's beautiful blue Montreal to become their latest star. TJ ended up buying the first Montreal he ever saw—importing it from Italy—and as somebody who spends a lot of time in his studio appreciating the details of such cars, he couldn't be happier about getting this Bertone classic. Alfa Romeo built less than 4000 Montreals in the middle of the oil crisis, naming the production version of the concept car after the Canadian Expo it was made for.

  • August 2019 Volume 6 Issue 8 Editorial
    August 2019 Volume 6 Issue 8 Editorial Comments: It’s Dog Days in Florida but there are many things coming up! Alfa Romeo Selection of the Month: August 2019. Car Name: 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Superflow IV – More details to follow. Historic Alfa Prototype: 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Superflow IV Alfa Romeo entered three 6C 3000 CM coupes into the 1953 Mille Miglia, and while two retired with accident damage during the race, Juan Manuel Fangio and Giulio Sala brought their Alfa home to a second-place finish. Had Fangio not struck a roadside marker, damaging the suspension, it’s possible that the Colli-built coupe would have finished first, but the Argentine driver redeemed himself later in the season, winning the first GP Supercortemaggiore in Merano behind the wheel of a 6C 3000 CM spider. Following the 1954 season, Alfa Romeo took a step back from racing. To support its design partner, Pinin Farina, Alfa gave a 6C 3000 CM coupe, serial number 00128, to the Turin-based coachbuilder for experimentation. Over the next four years Pinin Farina would craft a series of styling studies on the chassis, beginning with the Superflow, which debuted at the 1956 Turin Motor Show. Historic Alfa Prototype: 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Superflow IV continued: It was an unconventional design, one not likely to meet with acclaim from today’s automotive designers. A prominent ridge ran down the hood and culminated in the Alfa shield grille, but this seemed an afterthought, and not a homogenous styling trait. The same could be said for the Superflow’s massive rear fins, which now look almost comically exaggerated.

  • 15 Questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA
    15 questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA Please introduce yourselves and your company. What is your company’s field of expertise? Maasmeier: My partners Matthias Hinz and Lukas Mühlemann are passionate classic car lovers – just like me. We have been collecting classic cars for decades. This passion for classic cars has brought us together, regardless of national borders. We have long been looking for the perfect restoration, but our expectations remained unfulfilled. Eventually, we decided to take matters into our own hands and founded SCUDERIA AZZURRA. We are offering classic Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lancia on the international market. All cars have been restored in top condition exclusively by us in our own workshop. Using original components, we restore the cars completely, from car body, engine and gearboxes to technology. When did you fall for classic automobiles? Was there a key experience in your childhood/youth that turned you into a classic car lover? Hinz: I bought my first classic car, then a rather modern classic, at the age of 18. It was a 1968 VW Beetle Convertible. With the help of an alleged expert, I gained a first insight into car restoration. I discovered my passion for Italian sports cars in the early 90s. I read an article on a Lancia Flaminia Touring Coupé in a magazine for classic cars and it was love at first sight. I was so excited that I took the next opportunity and bought one in the US, without even looking at it beforehand. Maasmeier: My father was a true sports car fan and owned a Jaguar.

  • The Scuderia Mito Logo a Tribute to Tazio Nuvolari
    The Scuderia MiTo Logo A tribute to Tazio Nuvolari Having displayed the Scuder- ia MiTo car at both Spring and National Alfa Days this year, and of course having been at racing events as part of the Alfa Romeo Championship, several people has asked about the Scuderia MiTo logo on the side of the car, and a few people asked why we chose the num- ber eight. So this is a short summary for those who want a little motor racing history. Or for those who care. Long before the formation of Ferrari S.p.A. in 1947 (yes, the Ferrari that today builds, well, Ferraris), its founder Enzo Fer- rari began his motor racing career in the early 1920s as a driver for Alfa Romeo, racing alongside greats such as Anto- which, incidentally, originated seaters and raced in the late using the brakes, opting instead nio Ascari.
