The Alfa Romeo 8C-Series was developed from the 6C-Models. "8C" stands for 8-cylinder.
The 8C 2900 succeeded the 8C 2300/2600 in 1935 and was built until 1939.
Only three examples of the 2900MM Touring Spyder were made and they finished 1-2-3 at the 1938 Mille Miglia.

Pictures taken at the "Technoclassica 2010" in Essen, Germany

This car is a recreation of the 8C 2900 MM Touring Spyder.
