Not really because of this, it is because the earliest Ferraris (and I do mean the earliest cars that carried the Ferrari badge) do use a Burgundy red colour
That multiple overtake at five minutes reminds me of me a few years ago. Get less ballsy as you get older. Just feel like a berk doing it now. But I do it if I have to. Top stuff
I'm not saying you should do that with such a historic car but I was able to instantly tell after 15 seconds that the woman driving knew the car far better than any of the others in the video. It is instantly evident that she has had the most seat time and experience even in the slower portions and her shifts.
Nice video! It amazing to think that this car is 88 years old. Even though it is very early on in terms of Motorsport it’s still recognisable as the genesis of Grand Prix racing. The straight 8 engine with its supercharger definitely has a distinct sound. Do love these prewar cars and what they represent. If I had unlimited money I’d have one of these and a 4 half litre Bentley Blower in a collection together.
If I got it right, that is chassis no. 2211120, the car Nuvolari used in that famous 100-lap duel with his rival Achille Varzi at the 1933 Monaco GP. And also the car Antonio Brivio drove to win that year's Swedish Summer GP. And also, since it is a former Scuderia Ferrari team car, it had the enlarged 2600cc engine, rather than the 2300cc on original models. Scuderia Ferrari did that to keep ahead of Maseratis and Bugattis of the time, but the extra engine power and torque put extra strain on the drivetrain. Fast forward to 2012, the German owner of this car, drove it from his house in Germany, on the road, to Goodwood Motor Circuit, to compete at the Goodwood Revival. He won the race he entered in the car, and after the meeting, he drove it all the way back home again!
@@claudiomarangone614 This car also raced at the very first Monaco Historique GP in 1997, where it once again, faced old adversaries like Maserati 26M, Bugattis Type 35, 37, and 51, and even a few sister cars! This car is one of the contenders for the win, until it tangled with one of the Bugatti Type 35Bs while fighting for the lead at Rascasse, causing it to retire with a punctured front tire...
I can't help wishing he'd push it a bit more, look how hard they race at the Goodwood Revival for instance. I also can't help wishing they'd be allowed to wear period costumes and helmets. Still, I love that dark red Alfa Romeo colour.
When Scuderia Ferrari literally meaned a team founded by Enzo Ferrari.A team,simply a team.Later Ferrari founded his own sportscar company to make road cars,and F1/F2 cars
Very good point. It’s cool to know where Ferrari started out and how that lead us to the Ferrari of today. It all started with an Alfa Romeo and a desire and love to race.
If you think about it, the structures that Alfa Romeo has participated to Grand Prix racing through are Scuderia Ferrari, Autodelta, Euroracing (which later merged with Brun Motorsport into EuroBrun) and Sauber. Three of these four teams used to take part or AR taking part to F1 with cars that carry their names.
@@simoneburini4036 Absolutely. Alfa Romeo was essentially a foundation for teams to use and in turn develop there own brands of it. Take for example the tuning world where companies like AMG started out by modifying Mercedes and then went on to become their own company. Obviously in that particular case AMG was bought out by Mercedes. But still you get the idea.
Alain de Cadenet, in his old "Victory by Design" series, said that if you got an 8C Monza, everyone takes you seriously. And, with a car, that looks, goes, and sounds like that, I can't see the reason why anyone won't take an 8C Monza seriously! Plus, the sight of the car on the Swiss mountain road, supercharger whining, and the deep growl of the engine echoing across the valley, is just incredible!
How much is it worth? 20 million? A priceless car. Beautiful piece of engineering, one of the fastest cars of its era. Double overhead cam. Thank you for filming this Ultra rare car.

@@paulcaswell2813 there's a petrolicious video of a Lamborghini owner...who says....you never really own these cars, you just maintain them for the next generation.

Music. Thanks Bozzy for doing some vintage stuff. The 2300 was a fantastic car - and lovely to hear that double-declutching :-)). PS 2:12 - did the Type 35 get the better of the Alfa???
Those Alfa 8C engines were known to have a lot of torque at low revs. The Monza's successor, the famed Alfa Romeo P3 Tipo B, for example, had its first gear removed in 1934-35 to enable them to put wider gears inside the gearbox casting to make it stand the extra power of a more powerful engine. The driver noticed that they could launch and accelerate in what was basically the second gear just as well...
I think the first bit of the chicane is a bit too tight. In my opinion, if the chicane's first part is a bit less tight and a bit faster, the better. But the thing is, chicanes weren't a new thing at Monza. The chicanes used in the 1935 layout, for instance, is so severe that it eliminated almost all of the Mercedes Benz entries at the 1935 Italian GP.
This Alfa was raced by Scuderia Ferrari in 1933, won the Swedish GP that year. Later sold to Mario Massacuratti (apparently, Tazio Nuvolari's cousin) who raced it in South Africa, where it remained for some time. It was then bought by a succession of British and German owners who kept it racing. One German owner even drove it from Germany to UK to race! Now owned by a Swiss owner, who, thankfully, is a very enthusiastic collector, keeping the car racing...
And this is compressed TH-cam sound, I have heard it all, even a raging 30s Bugatti, but theres nothing that can match the Straight 8 Jano sound, real life. Unless of course you own a bugatti from that periode that Bugatti WAS Bugatti and not some computergenerated VW shit, you paid so much for it that you will have to lie. But the Alfa still sounds better. Its a sound that just sits in your body, even better than having a Harrier taking off outside your bedroom window, while trying to do what you do with a girlriend before you really know what fucking is all about, the Jano straight 8s just sounds awesome. The best sound you will ever hear, well, I Do might come close, but thats it. Goddamn those are some serious engines. I can not afford one, and if I coud I would not buy it. I t's like having sex with a french woman, its great but you cant live with a woman that speak greek.
No, that's P3 chassis no. 50005. This is an earlier 8C "Monza", chassis no. 2211120 (I think), which is the car he used in the 100-lap duel with Achille Varzi at Monaco in 1933...
@@cletotirabassi Yeah, it is chassis number 50005. It's sister car, chassis number 50004, is actually owned by Nuvolari in 1935, according to one source!

Incredible. A true look back into the history of racing. The straight-8 has such a distinct sound
Ahh, that deep rumble and the supercharger whine. Like a symphony. 😍

Just listen... its beautiful
Now I understand why Scuderia Ferrari got a special color for the 1000 race, by this car

- Å fan! 👍
Great car, not my favourite 12C 37 or the Tipo 316, but a great Alfa still!
Try Maserati 250F.
My all-time favourite is the P3, followed by this car, then the 158/159 "Alfetta".
I saw one of those run at the Ferrari Challenge at Road Atlanta. I think that was 2004
You gotta love the contrast at4:35, as it's followed by that ... thing 🙈
Omg this sounds identical to lightning McQueen
👍❤
How many millions is it?
Ehi bozzy can I take some clips from your video for a tik tok?
who else hates turn 1 chicane at monza? i think it ruins the track.
I think the first bit of the chicane is a bit too tight. In my opinion, if the chicane's first part is a bit less tight and a bit faster, the better.

It is, I saw the old Milanese registration number painted at the front.

Pretty sure that is a Pur Sang replica.. as is the Bugatti.. Both are allowed at vintage events.. The original Alfa is worth millions…
