The old Alfas are almost illegal to watch because of their beauty.

[@malcolmSC]

This isn't just a classic, this car is a technical masterpiece. It was so advanced in its time, it is better than most modern cars.

[@nevillestimpson475]

I'm honoured to have found this video. This is my favourite pre-war Alfa. The spec is unbelievable for the year of manufacture.

[@AlbertMensinga]

That is just too much beauty in one clip...

[@Wildcopper]

Agreed, I got a cargasm watching this... so much beauty ! A car CAN be ART, as Jeremy Clarkson said.

Alfa Romeo... the Legend is back

[@JoepW]

Gefeliciteerd Jan-Willem. Zal best ook wel emotioneel moment zijn om afstand te doen van de auto die je zo lang hebt verzorgd!

[@luppolui]

Ik weet zeker dat ik de auto een keer in de Achterhoek heb gezien. Helaas kon ik er geen foto van maken. Jammer!

[@MsMarcozeta]

What an absolutely stunning car. I have had the luxury of seeing one in person at The Revs Institute in Naples, Florida, in a dare I say better specification than this one even!

[@anders9646]

What a beautiful car

[@TempeGO]

Not a metaphor, this is really a Grand Prix car that can be driven on public roads.

[@milogiamanco2292]

Absolutely stunning example craftsmanship.

[@CarlosOliveira-cj3iz]

Fantastic car! (and video)

[@bohboh7901]

Only Alfa Romeo can make look so stunning a pre war car!!

[@PopcornSticker]

It wasn't eventually told how much did the car actually cost in 1973. I bet it was not 1800 quid.

[@angelouggeri9229]

Non un auto un capolavoro di stile Naturalmente italiano ALFA ROMEO

[@seupai9619]

Maneiro demais demais!

[@alaintitis]

une magnifique auto dont la marque à rivaliser avec Bugatti.....Alfa Roméo est la seule marque qui a battu en course dans les années 30 la voiture Ettore !!! vous remarquerez que le reportage ne parle pas de propriétaire de l'auto mais de gardien .......cette auto est un objet d'art contemporain

[@BluRabbit]

Il la vend certainement pour raisons financière, mais quand il dit qu'il est temps de la confier à un autre gardien, c'est émouvant !

[@Westside7be]

je me suis dit exactement la même chose

Why is there so much talking and music that we can't hear the car?

[@retroracingshirt591]

[@j.1294]

The music sucks when the engine sound is there.

[@kelseysvenson8544]

I don't get how he got it. My English might not be good enough? Someone wad looking for... space, which meant he was selling a car for cheap?

[@tadficuscactus]

I couldn't hear it.

[@hassadhassan2610]

this car is 22 million

[@shanehnorman]

Gorgeous motor car, but why do we have to listen to syrupy Muzak instead of hearing that double-blown straight eight sing?

Cars are just not what they used to be...

[@protectorh9167]

Hahahaha geweldig miljoenen euro waard deze auto en gewoon lekker mee rijden , ik durf bij wijze van spreken die auto niet eens aan te raken. Gelukkig heb ik deze auto in cmc model uitvoering 1:18 , durf ik ook nauwelijk aan te raken.

[@barondegil1]

2900 Le Mans Turing? Fantastic scale model!

[@filipthealucard]

i sent a link to a friend and labeled it as pornography

[@barondegil1]

Bad association. I would label this as high, timeless art.
