Alfa sale

The Alfa Romeo 6C-1500 Zagato Spider in which Giulio Ramponi won the 1929 Brooklands Double-Twelve race sold for £210,945 (including premium) in Brooks’ auction at the Monaco GP. The successful American bidder first tried to buy the car 52 years ago when, as a GI returning from service, he was offered it by George Abecassis. Alas, he could not afford the $1800 asking price. MP
