And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Speciale had a 2.9L supercharged straight 8 making 220 hp. The body was aluminum hand-formed over a tubular frame. It ran in the 1938 LeMans, stretching out a lead of 150km before retiring.
Pretty much an Alfa F1 with a coupe body - very similar to the 2900A that won both the '36 and '37 Mille Miglias. I can just imagine what that blown straight-8 sounded like full bore!
An early Porsche. Cost you a couple mill if you can find one.
ReplyDeleteThat's NOT a Porsche...it's an Alfa-Romeo
