The Amalgam Alfa Romeo 8C 2900, a limited edition 1:8 scale model, is a tribute to the fearless racing car that dominated the Italian Mille Miglia and 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1938, thanks to its powerful 2.9 liter 8C engine and expert engineering by Vittorio Jano. With just five cars produced, this model, based on the No. 143 car that won the 1938 Mille Miglia, stands out as a shining example of the legendary Alfa Romeo 8C 2900. Crafted with precision and attention to detail by renowned coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring, this model captures the iconic teardrop-shaped design and tapered rear of the original. While competing against teammate Carlo Pintacuda, who set impressive speeds in the first part of the race, driver Clemente Biondetti emerged as the ultimate victor after a grueling 12 hours
