The March issue of Motor Sport focuses on the ground-breaking, Hitler-beating Alfa Romeo P3.
Among the 17 pages dedicated to the Tipo P3, Andrew Frankel drives the historic ‘monoposto’ at Blyton Park, Patrick Head, Neil Oatley, Peter Stevens and Tony Southgate pass their views on the car’s design, Paul Grist reveals what it takes to maintain one today and Paul Fearnley delves deep into the car’s illustrious past. Plus, Richard Williams uses Nuvolari’s remarkable Nürburgring victory in 1935 as the cornerstone for a retrospective look at how the German Grand Prix was the first of a series of embarassment for Third Reich-backed sporting stars.
We sent Stuart Collins along to Andrew’s drive to capture the priceless Alfa.
