Supercars.net has just posted a gallery of the 2009 Meadow Brook Concours. On the second page I found this rather glorious looking Alfa. First time I've seen this car, does anyone know more about it? |

Having looked at it some more the rear of this body reminds me a bit of Gordon Buehrig's Auburn Speedster. But the wings look more European ; now I'm really curious. Johan |

Angela Cherrett is writing the following in her book about the 8C 2300 “Registered on 3rd August 1934 by S.A. Alfa Romeo. this 3rd Series Lungo car was described as a cabriolet 3 posti and an earlier photograph showed two steps on the rear wing similar to those on the Zagato 3-seater. The hood is concealed beneath a hinged panel infront of the rear hatch” |

Thanks Martijn! You have the Simon Moore work on the 8C2.3? And the 8C2.9? And the Angela Cherrett book? (which I was unaware of by the way). Congratulations! I have been able to resist books on other marques for the time being ; but it's not easy. At all. Regards Johan PS. Simon Moore travels to South Africa quite often and while I have not met him, those who have all describe him as an absolute gentleman and a really friendly guy. |

Supercars.net often include photographs of chassis plates, so as can be seen Simon Moore, Angela Cherrett and Martijn are all correct. But I have no idea what the second plate is, any ideas?. I really love this car. Regards Johan |

With my knowledge of languages, I can figure out that it's just about the valve-clearance and spark-plug settings; what they should be, and how often they should be checked. And; It won't happen again, posting in a non-Bugatti subject! |

So this is how the Auburn Speedster looks like. I see. I think this Alfa Romeo 8C 2.3 will look a lot better if we're going to buy new alfa romeo accessories. |
