Alfa Romeo: more than a brand, a bank
This article discusses the most expensive Alfa Romeo cars ever sold, with the current world record being set by a 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Lungo Spider by Touring, sold for $19.8 million in 2016. The second-most expensive Alfa Romeo car sold is another 8C 2900, a 1938 Berlinetta Touring, which was sold for €16.7 million (about $19 million) in 2019. The article also briefly mentions the story behind the third-most expensive Alfa Romeo ever sold, an 8C 2300 Monza by Brianza from 1933, which was sold for $11.99 million in 2016. The article concludes with a list of other expensive Alfa Romeo models sold at various auctions.
I would like to point out that Alfa Romeo, with three sales above the $10,000,000 mark, is the third-largest car brand in the world for cars sold above this threshold preceded only by Ferrari and Aston Martin but ahead of giants such as Porsche (2), Mercedes-Benz (2) and Bugatti (1).
According to the market, the golden age of Alfa Romeo was between 1929 and 1939. As many as 28 of the 30 most expensive cars sold are from this decade (the other two are the same car awarded twice).
But what are the most expensive Alfa Romeo sales ever? Let's find out.
