Even if it was only a bare chassis with Jano’s exquisite engine, the Alfa’s 8C would be an automotive jewel. That it came with coachwork by Milan-based Carrozzeria Touring made it nothing short of perfection. Touring patented the method of coachbuilding, which utilizes a network of thin steel tubes describing the shape of the body, wrapped with sculpted aluminum panels.
Indeed, this is one of only five genuine 8C 2900B Lungo Touring Spiders known to still exist, and it’s fitted with its original body . Altogether, fewer than 50 examples of the 8C 2900 were produced—either in road or racing guise—between 1935 and 1939.
