Newsletter the 2.5 24 Valve Engine Received P.O. Box 804, Bellville 7535 http://www.alfaclub.co.za [email protected] Newsletter May 9 Monthly Busso evening: Busso the man that created the iconic Alfa Romeo V6 engine, born Giuseppe Busso 27 April 1913 and passed away 3 January 2006 just 3 days after production was stopped of his beloved V6 engine. He was Technical Director for Alfa Romeo and Ferrari. Some of his projects included 1900, Matta, Giulietta, Giulia, Alfetta and the Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine. The first Alfa Romeo to receive the fantastic V6 engine was the 6 Sedan. Thanks Rod for bringing your stunning example to the meeting. Also thanks to Alastair for bringing your concours winning 156 GTA another Busso master piece. Unfortunately no photos were taken on the evening. The 2.5 24 valve engine received the coveted International Engine of the year award in 2000. In August 2011 Evo magazine rated the Alfa V6 engine as the most glorious sounding six cylinder engine ever. Classic and Sports car magazine said it is the best sounding engine this side of the Maserati V8. May 6 Busso run to Damas restaurant Worcester: We all got together at the Clubhouse and left in convoy at around 10:30 and travelled over the du Toit's Kloof pass. En-route to Damas Restaurant we stopped to pick up our Guest of Honour, Ms. Dreyer. The short version of the story is that when our beloved Chairman, Stephen Wearne, was in Grade 2 (Sub. B) his teacher (and our Guest of Honour), Ms. Dreyer was driving an Alfasud. Little Stephen fell in love with the car, and his love grew as he grew older. Finally years later and much convincing, Ms Dreyer decided to part with her Alfasud and Stephen was and still is the proud owner. Ms Dreyer's love for Alfa Romeo has never faded and as a gesture the Alfa Romeo Club invited Ms Dreyer along. She thoroughly enjoyed the day and marvelled at the fabulous array of Alfa Romeo's that lined the parking lot at Damas Restaurant. At Damas Restaurant we were spoiled with not only a lovely setting, but also a scrumptious 2-course lunch. In the convoy we had a really special little car that caused quite the conversation of Facebook: the Conrero Giulietta Sprint. Also in the convoy was 3 x 156 GTA's, 147 GTA, GTV 2.5 with 3.0 conversion GTA, Giulia, Spider, Brera, 4C and an Alfa 6. PHOTOS COMPLIMENTS WANDA ACKERMAN Formula one and Touring car news: Chinese GP – Shangai – 15 April The car showed good and consistent pace throughout the race. Leclerc spun off during the race which unsettled the car a bit however he managed to recover regain positions after the pit stops. M Ericsson finished 16th overall C Leclerc finished 19th overall Azerbeijan GP – Baku City – 29 April Best race of the season so far. C Leclerc also collected driver of the day a race in which he scored his first ever points in Formula One and that being a rookie F1 driver. In an incident filled race he kept his calm to collect 8 points and a lot of respect. C Leclerc finished 6th overall M Ericsson finished 11th overall Spanish GP – Barcelona – 13 May Not the best race for any of the Italian brands but let’s stick to Alfa Romeo. Both drivers gave a relatively strong performance on the day. The team managed a point’s finish for the third race in row which is a good sign of things to come. The race was also commemorated by Alfa Romeo’s first victory in Formula One on 13th May 1950 by Nino Farina in the all - conquering Alfa Romeo Alfetta Tipo 158 at Silverstone. C Leclerc finished 10th overall M Ericsson finished 13th overall Driver standings at present 10th C Leclerc - 9 points 13th M Ericsson - 2 points Constructor’s standings at present 9th overall Knysna Hill climb – Simola 2018: The Knysna hill climb once again dished up a whole host of fantastic machinery from single seaters to powerful super cars to classics and of corse two Alfa Romeo Giulia QV’s. The Giulia’s were entered into class A3 for standard production road legal vehicles. The Giulia’s were narrowly beaten by a Noble quite a different type of vehicle to the heavier saloons however we will not go there. Pierre Bester finished second with a time of 48.350 and in third Piet Potgieter with a time of 48.700. CEO of Penta Motor Group Phillip Botha was clearly ecstatic with their results. In the classic department Trevor Tuck won his class in convincing fashion with a time of 50.4 sec a full 4 seconds faster than his nearest rival. Killarney 4 Hour – Mopar SA endurance series – 19 May 2018: In years gone by it was always stated that when the Alfa’s came to the Cape for racing they always broke for some reason or other, maybe they were home sick. Of late the Alfa Romeo’s seem to be very at home always producing good results. This was again the case with the Mopar Alfa Romeo Giulietta coming home in a fine sixth place in amongst a whole lot of bigger machinery. They once again produced a class win as well as index of performance winner. The car is ultra - reliable and the little Giulietta has been fitted with a few trick bits and pieces from Romeo Ferraris. The gearbox only weighs 90 kilograms, very impressive. CARC stand had a nice buzz with members in and out braai fires and jumping castle for kiddies. I think it went down very well and all enjoyed. Thanks to Erich for the hard work and boerrie rolls with filter coffee and muffins for the chills. Also special thanks to Kosie Freysen and Jan Burger for their donations. Much appreciated. We have some nice plans to convert our stand into a more user friendly one in winter. The club is looking for any input and or hands and or donations to help in this regard. Stunning photo’s courtesy of Angelo Marsiglia Mille Miglia 2018: Celebrating the 90th anniversary of Alfa Romeo’s 1928 win The race was one in 1928 by Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi in an Alfa Romeo 6c 1500 SS with race no 30. 1000 mile race on the Italian roads was held from 1927 up until 1957 when these types of races was deemed to be dangerous. Eight Alfa Romeo cars was entered in the 1928 race and all eight finished with Alfa Romeo taking honours in the individual and team categories. This year 90 years later Alfa Romeo takes the three top podiums. What an achievement. In first position the Alfa Romeo 6c 1500 GS which was driven by Tonconogy – Ruffini. With just 8 penalty points behind in second position 1928 6c 1500 Super Sport with coachwork by Stabilimenti Farina a car which currently resides at the FCA Heritage collection and is normally on display at Museo Storico Alfa Romeo. This particular car wore the no 30 race number worn originally by the sister car that won the race originally in 1928. In 2018 the drivers were Giovanni Moceri and Daniele Bonetti. In third and yet again an Alfa Romeo the 6C 1750 SS Zagato driven by Vesco – Guerini. Alfa Romeo has won 11 Mille Miglia titles 1928/ 29/ 30/ 32/ 34/ 35/ 36/ 37 /38 and 47. Fantastic achievement. Marcus Ericsson and Charles Leclerc racing drivers from the Alfa Romeo Sauber Formula One team were also present and drove the 1932 Gran Premio Tipo B and 1955 750 Competizione, benefits of being F1 driver for an Alfa Romeo team. STELVIO – Miss USA Miss Sarah Rose Summers was crowned 2018 Miss USA. More importantly Alfa Romeo USA supplied her with her winning prize the all new Stelvio. Alfa Romeo always supplied the lucky ladies of Miss SA in years gone by. Model of the month Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina 1958 1:18 Resin models by BOSS Models This model has just been launched and again is in resin. Models as are now been produced in resin to cut costs because of all the industrial action in countries where labour was cheaper. So model builders have started producing models in Europe again sky rocketing the prices. It also does not help that the RSA rand has gone for a ball of you know what every time a government official opens his mouth. So unfortunately there are once again no opening features. Paint work on these resin models are superb.

    Mille Miglia 2018, le auto tornano a Brescia: vincitori Juan Tonconogy e la moglie Al secondo posto Giovanni Moceri e Daniele Bonetti, mentre Andrea Vesco e Andrea Guerini salgono sul terzo gradino del podio. Tutti a bordo di Alfa Romeo di L.D.B. Pubblicato il 19 maggio 2018 Ultimo aggiornamento: 19 maggio 2018 ore 20:15 Brescia, 19 maggio 2018 - È il trionfo dell'Alfa Romeo in questa Mille Miglia 2018. Nel 1928, il primo successo dell'Alfa Romeo alla 1000 Miglia con Giuseppe Campari e Giulio Ramponi. Oggi, a 90 anni di distanza, tre Alfa Romeo ai primi tre posti in un'edizione da record della rievocazione storica con 450 equipaggi in gara, a conferma del legame indissolubile tra il brand e la più bella competizione automobilistica nel mondo. Alfa Romeo protagonista in qualità di Automotive Sponsor dell'edizione 2018 ma anche 'festeggiata' dagli appassionati con il tributo che si riserva ad una marca capace di far salire il Biscione su tutti e tre i gradini del podio in viale Venezia a Brescia. A vincere (per la terza volta) la 1000 Miglia 2018 è infatti stata la coppia Juan Tonconogy e Barbara Ruffini con l'Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 GS Testa Fissa del 1933, seguita dalla Alfa Romeo 6C1500 Super Sport del 1928, carrozzata dagli Stabilimenti Farina, di Giovanni Moceri, con il navigatore Daniele Bonetti. Vettura ufficiale della collezione FCA Heritage, questa vettura è normalmente in mostra presso il Museo Storico Alfa Romeo ed è partita per la 1000 Miglia 2018 con il numero di gara 30, lo stesso sfoggiato dall'auto che nel 1928, conquistò la prima vittoria Alfa Romeo alla Mille Miglia con Giuseppe Campari e Giulio Ramponi.

  • The 2018 Mille Miglia Is a Triumph for Alfa Romeo
    Contact: Berj Alexanian The 2018 Mille Miglia is a triumph for Alfa Romeo A wonderful day for Alfa Romeo: the Mille Miglia concludes with its cars in the top three places The race caravan paid a celebratory visit to Milan and to the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo at Arese, where time trials were held on the internal circuit Marcus Ericsson and Charles Leclerc, the drivers of the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team, were also present, driving a 1932 Gran Premio Tipo B and a 1955 750 Competizione The Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team drivers later greeted the cars on arrival in Brescia The interweaving of past and future continues on the web thanks to the “ Alfa Romeo: the Mille Miglia in 90 places” project, which retraces the most significant stages in the brand's history at the Mille Miglia, 90 years after its first victory May 20, 2018, Brescia, Italy - 1928 was the year of Alfa Romeo's first win at the Mille Miglia, and 2018 has seen a record-breaking edition with 450 teams competing and three Alfa Romeo cars taking the top three places: confirmation of the brand's unbreakable bond with "the most beautiful race in the world." Alfa Romeo therefore starred at the event as protagonist in this prestigious milestone, as Automotive Sponsor, and as the winner of the top prizes on Viale Venezia in Brescia: the 2018 Mille Miglia was won by the Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 GS Testa Fissa crewed by Tonconogy-Ruffini. In second place, just eight penalty points behind the victor, the stunning 6C 1500 Super Sport dating from 1928 with coachwork by Stabilimenti Farina, an official car from the FCA Heritage collection, which is normally on display at the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo.

  • Iniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
    Iniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Magical Montreal ALFA expo17 - Part 1 Great cars, company and convention activities at the National Convention Montreal's ALFA expo17 was a fun and successful (inter-) national convention enjoyed by more than 430 Alfisti. Several NWARC members made the trip north of the border, and sent back the following reports on their activities. There was so much going on, and so much fun being had, that this report will be published in two parts. Watch for the conclusion in September! Pre-convention Voyager Tour Participants for the three-day pre-convention driving tours of the Ottawa River area met at the historic town of Kingston on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Joe and Lynn Faherty, Gordy Hyde and Dolly Samson, and Bill and Judy Gehring joined the tour, which explored the Quebec side of the river with highlights including waterfalls, canals, hand-operated locks, covered bridges, quaint villages and parks. Because there were 37 drivers doing the tour, we were put in groups of about 6 cars each. Our group was especially inter- esting, as it was led by Oliver Collins in his 1900 Touring and included a 1959 2 liter spider, a Callaway twin turbo GTV6 and a 2017 Giulia. Oth- er groups included Pre-Tour Alfas - Judy Gehring more new Giulias, a couple of 4C's, a Montreal, some Canadian spiders of the 90's that weren't available to us, and lots of "common” Alfas. Doug Zaitz and AROC president Cindy Banzer joined an equally inter- esting tour of the Ontario side of the river.

  • Обзор Pen World № 2 (16) 2007 Вечно Живая Mille Miglia Вадим Журавлев
    Обзор Pen World № 2 (16) 2007 Вечно живая Mille Miglia Вадим Журавлев Четыре заядлых автомобилиста весной 1927 года решили, что настало время не просто разъезжать на своих любимых машинах, но и учредить автогонку. Когда маршрут Брешия — Рим — Брешия был все же согласован, то возник вопрос с названием. Вариантов оказалось множе- ство, но ни один из них не подходил. Наконец, после длительных вычислений, один из организаторов обнаружил, что протяженность маршрута составляет ровно 1600 километров, или 1000 миль. Вспомнив, что древние римляне вели отсчет длины в милях, решили на том и остановиться. Именно так ровно восемьдесят лет назад началась история самой известной итальянской автогон- ки— Mille Miglia («Тысяча миль») 37 Обзор Pen World № 2 (16) 2007 На всех сто ян ках в цен т ре италь ян ско го го род - ные пе ре ва лы, свер ка ю щие зер ка ла озер...
