This new “Victory by Design” Alfa Romeo show is a pure treat for ‘the Alfisti'. Almost feature-length and featuring most of the milestone sports racers and Grand Prix cars that helped establish Alfa Romeo as one of the truly great marques in automobile history.
Alain de Cadenet, a true authority on Alfas, particularly the pre-WW2 cars of Vittorio Jano and Enzo Ferrari, drives and appraises many of the actual cars that won the great classic races which would help create the Alfa legend that's still with us today.
Some of the superb Alfas featured include: the 8C 2300 Zagato, the actual car last raced by Enzo Ferrari as a driver. The actual P3 in which Tazio Nuvolari won the famous 1935 German Grand Prix. The only three 2900A racers ever built, together again for the first time since their Mille Miglia success of the mid 1930s. The awesome Monoposto B, winner of Grands Prix and the Mille Miglia. The unique 2900B Le Mans Coupe. The only surviving 12C Alfa. The Disco Volante. The Fangio winning 6C 3000CM. The incredible Alfetta, winner of the first two World Grand Prix Championships in 1950 and 1951. The multiple European Championship winning GTA and GTAm. The TZ1 and racing Giulietta and Giulia range. The 33/2 Daytona, 33/3, and TT 33/12, which took Alfa Romeo to two World Sports Car Championships in the 1970s.
What makes this Alfa Romeo show such a must for the enthusiast, is that these important and extremely valuable cars have been shipped to a series of international locations where director Tony Maylam and his production team have been able shoot the cars in action and capture them in superb widescreen photography with ‘in your face' Alfa Romeo surround sound. It will be a very long time, if ever again, that so many important Alfas will be entrusted to a film company and shot in such an all-encompassing way. If you are going to own just one Alfa DVD, this is the one to have.
