The 8C name refers to the engine's eight cylinders, and these cars are the iconic pre-war Alfa Romeos. The inline-8 was designed by the genius Italian engineer Vittorio Jano. The "Berlinetta" body was made by famed coachbuilder Touring. There were only five Berlinettas made in total. This particular one, from 1937, appeared in many motor shows and catalogues. It also won "Best of Show" at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2018. It then won the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este the following year... ...before winning the Louis Vuitton Classic Concours Award. I doubt many other cars have won prizes at three of the world's biggest concours. Needless to say, its current value is nothing short of astronomical.
