The first Alfa Romeo 8C Spider production car to be seen on the move in Britain will participate at next weekend"s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Spider will be joined on the hill by several famous motor racing cars from Alfa"s historic museum collection in Arese, Italy, including a 1924 P2 Gran Premio which won the first World Championship in 1925 and the 6C 3000 CM that was driven to second place by Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1953 Mille Miglia.
The Italian firm which is a year shy of its 100th anniversary, said that it will also bring along two special concept cars, the wedge-shaped 1968 Alfa Carabo featuring hydropneumatic-powered gull-wing doors and multi-coloured one way glass windows, and the 1978 Najavo study.
