Read 'em and weep fellas!
Yes folks, this is Fangio's CC winning 158 Tipo .... the little supercharged Alfetta. Despite the "Don't touch or we ring the mafia" signs I managed to "steal a drive". HOW GOOD IS THAT!
Ahh and the Brabham
and the Turbo LeMans car for good measure

Lemmie guess, it's a default "safety" mechanism to stop people linking directly to the images??
People wonder why i get cheesed off with PC's/net.

This is just like Geocities did to mine, though bira rightly pointed out that it was in their rules that they shouldn't be used this way...
Homestead do allow it, though, with 15 megs still free... you have to pay for more than that.

An 8C 2900B Lungo from 1938
A Tipo 33 TT 12 endurance at the main entrance.
The collection houses 3x a 159 F1 and one 158 F1. One 159 is displayed 'nuda' to give a good view of the cars construction.
Engines are plenty available to see up close.
Maybe the most famous of all classic grand prix cars: Tipo B or P3.
The 1934 Tipo B Aerodinamica
The Tipo A 1931 BiMotore has two engines sitting next to each other.
The 158 Alfetta.
The 1935 Bimotore has perspex engine covers to show the engines. Only car in the collection to sport Ferrari badges.
The mighty P2, as some other cars from the collection a recent Goodwood visitor!
The 6C 2500 Super Sport Corsa from 1939.
Giulia TZ2 from 1965.
The 1923 RL Targa Florio.
The selection modern monopostos is not only F1, but also CART and F3.
Vittorio Brambilla's 1979 Alfa-Alfa.
One rare non BE owned Brabham is this BT45. Chassis plate said BT45 001.
The prettiest ever? The 33 Stradale.
Abortive prototype racer.
Alfa's boxer.
One of the many what if's in racing

A part of the collection is also undeground and leads to the former management buildings. Before I knew it I was wandering through the empty hallways. Very sad to see the abandoned offices that sometimes even looked like if evacuated for a bomb alert.
The Arese plant, (left) middle part (main assembly lines) has already been demolished. Bottom right shows management buildings and museum.
Left overs of what must have been crowded offices.
The archives are also still there.

At that time, they were actually think about doing reprints of all the Alfa Corse magazines 1938-1943 and making them available to the public. Sadly, never happened

No, since the 8C2300 displayed at the museum wasn't a 8C2300 first! I wass rebuilt during the 60s by Luigi Fusi using some genuine 2.3 parts, but from a modified 6C1750 frame. It is still there indeed, but is a non-runner.
I cannot quote the VIN of the actual MM winner, it's in Simon Moore's "Legendary 2.3" which I have not at hand here.
Note also that, while the Brumm model has too widely spaced headlights, the museum car has the opposite inconvenient, since the fitting of the main headlights is not the original one. The third headlight was a common addition on long-run racing Alfas at the time.

Wednesday I had time to visit the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese. It is on the premises of the former Alfa works in Arese. And housed besides the former top management offices. A great museum. Also entry is free, so a great visit when you are near Milan in Italy.
Do you have pictures of Alfa Romeo F1 cars 182 and 183 from 1982 and 1983?
Forza Andrea,

Could this be the car that used to be in the Donington Museum? BE still owned that one but Bob Salisbury and I were unable to find a number on it when we stripped it one afternoon in the middle of the museum hall. Bob was sure nobody would mind!Originally posted by Arjan de Roos

Forza Andrea,
Sorry Andrea, but these cars are not in the Alfa Romeo Collection.

I watched to see a chassis plate of MRD of some sort. You know the more professional ones, sometimes even colored. However the only plate I could discover was soldered to the flank of the seat (to the right upper leg of the driver). A rather crude piece of metal with large characters stamped in. It said BT45001. However in the 179 I saw a very similar plate. Which made me wonder. Has the Brab a genuine plate, or was it soldered on, or, or ... is the whole chassis a remake?

Are you talking about the Marlboro 179 with the #23 on the front and the #2 on the side 14th picture down in your #8 post ?
It's a while ago since you saw the 179 plate but do you happen to have any recollection of the number you saw ?
