1932 ALFA ROMEO-2300 SPIDER. HILL CLIMB OF RAYMOND SOMMER.

[eddiesolo]

This sporty 2 seater ended up as the hill climb champion for Raymond Sommer killed at the Haute-Garone Grand Prix in 1950.


We now see it as it was stored after a hill climb, caked in mud, rusted, the leather seat is split and the filling is showing, a simple windscreen replaces the original and painted numbers adorn its now faded and cracked paintwork.

Ta guys, pleased you like another knackered one. This has had a re-vamp as it now sits on a slate floor with barrels etc, a rusting fence, I even managed to sort a rear light as it was missing. No pics as of yet as it is still drying.
