La leggendaria 8C2300… The short chassis spiders are the most desirable model of the 8C’s limited 184 production particularly those bodied by Zagato, famed for sleek, lightweight designs, were Alfa’s first choice for the first 8C sports racers. The chassis ‘2111006’ is one of the first ‘Corto’ Spiders and features the beautiful low radiator and high wing styling that brilliantly matched the thoroughbred engineering under its hand built, aluminium form. in the early 1930s, the freshly finished ‘2111006’ was taken to Spa for the Belgium Grand Prix which over 88 laps of the fast 14,8 Km Ardennes road circuit was 10 hours long. Alfa Corse entered three new 8Cs with Nuvolari- Borzacchini, Campari-Zehender and the ‘2111006’ was allotted to the veteran Ferdinando Minoia and Giovanni Minozzi, (the winners of the 1927 Mille Miglia for OM.) finishing third In August, Nuvolari raced Coppa Ciano at Livorno in 2111006,’ one of four 8Cs prepared by Scuderia Ferrari. With Zagato body featuring distinctive Monza radiator cowl and lighter cycle wings, it carried the registration MO5201 which identified it through its life with the legendary Modena equipe. On the long bonnet it proudly carried Alfa’s ‘Quadrifoglio’ team motif. At the 1932 Mille Miglia with Ghersi and Ramponi leave the starting ramp. with triple headlights fitted with red domed covers and lightweight wings, ‘2111006’ On dry roads, Ramponi had taken a stint at the wheel and lost control forcing retirement before Rome. The 8C then headed to Siciliy for the Coppa Messina in May, again Ghersi drove ‘2111006’ taking an impressive victory around the 52km circuit At some point ‘2111006’ competed once more with the Scuderia at the Coppa Gran Sasso d’Italia. As Ferrari’s team focused on running the new Tipo B Monoposto, the older team cars were sold off to eager privateer Italians. @millemigliaofficial @fiskens_cars #thecarpix @alfaromeoofficial #lacorsapiubelladelmondo #alfaromeo8c2300corto @scuderiaferrari @zagato1919
