Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3

RM Sotheby’s 2017 auction is featuring one of the most influenctial pre-war racing cars – a historic Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3. As the first major European classic car event of the new year, Rétromobile week in February 2017 – held at the Place Vauban in Paris – will also host a number of high-profile classic car auctions. And you have guessed right, its highlight is a 1934 Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3.

The post-war, 1954 Osca MT4 1500, once a participant of the minacious Carrera Panamericana – has also gone under the hammer and was predicted to fall somewhere between €975,000- €1,175,000. This specific example boasted cutting-edge technology, being the first twin ignition 1500 to roll off the Bologna production line.

The P3 represented a shift in design emphasis for period Grand Prix cars, adopting the narrower ‘slipper’ bodystyle dispensing of the second seat for ride-in mechanics to shave weight. The open-wheeled racer claimed victory on home soil at Monza, followed by a brace of podium lock-outs at the French and German Gran Prixs during the 1931 season.

2017 年 RM Sotheby’s 集中火力的汽车拍卖会，其中一辆最具影响力的战前赛车 -历史悠久的阿尔法罗密欧 (Alfa Romeo) Tipo B P3 将是焦点之一。而作为新一年欧洲经典车型的首个主要活动，Rétromobile week 在巴黎沃邦广场 (Place Vauban) 举行，也具备一些高格调经典汽车拍卖。而且你猜对了，它的亮点是1934年阿尔法罗密欧 Tipo B P3。

直至战后，1954 Osca MT4 1500 曾经是墨西哥经典 Carrera Panamericana 比赛的无敌参加者，报价是在97万5000到117万5000欧元之间。这一特殊的例子展示了尖端技术，也是首个在博洛尼亚生产线上生产的第一个双点火装置1500。

P3象征着时代大奖赛车型的设计重点转变，采用较窄的“拖鞋”车形设计风格，并且赛车中配用第二座，以削减重量。这辆开放型的赛车在蒙扎家乡土地上获胜，随后也出现在1931年赛季法国和德国大奖赛领奖台。
