An 8C 2900B, produced in just 38 examples in the late 1930s, with an engine derived directly from the Grand Prix cars of the era. And yet, the one to be auctioned in London on November 1, 2025 has a \"reasonable\" estimate: between \u00a33.5 and \u00a35 million, or around \u20ac4 to \u20ac5.8 million. An amount that might seem dizzying... except when you consider that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/en\/alfa-romeo\/here-are-the-10-most-expensive-alfa-romeos-in-history-all-sold-for-more-than-e1-million\/\">other 8C 2900Bs have already sold for close to $20 million<\/a>. So why is this one \"cheaper\"?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rare Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 is without doubt the brand's absolute pre-war technical masterpiece.<br>Under the hood is a 2,905 cm\u00b3 in-line 8-cylinder engine with twin camshafts and twin compressors, directly derived from the Tipo B P3 Grand Prix. An avant-garde architecture for its time, combined with a lightweight chassis with independent suspension and large drum brakes - technologies straight from the racetrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-1-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Between 1937 and 1939, Alfa Romeo produced just 38 examples of this marvel, divided between short (Corto) and long (Lungo) chassis, dressed by the greatest coachbuilders: Touring, Pininfarina, and sometimes Alfa Romeo itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The unusual history of this 2900B, bodied in Germany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The car featured here, chassis no. 412011, immediately stands out for its singular history.<br>Delivered new in 1937 to Ernst Carstens, a German industrialist, it received a two-seater Cabriolet body signed Karosseriewerk Aug. Nowack, a workshop in Hamburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-2900b-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A patriotic choice: at the time, driving a foreign car was frowned upon in Germany. Ernst Carstens therefore had his Alfa Romeo chassis dressed in Germany, in a style close to that of the luxurious Horch and Mercedes. The result was a unique 8C 2900B, the only one to have been bodied outside Italy. Weighing in at 1,462 kg, this \"Lungo\" version was even photographed at Alfa Romeo's Portello factory in 1938 before its final delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An eventful life across the continents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the war, traces of the car were lost, before reappearing in 1951 at the N\u00fcrburgring, with British zone German license plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-2900b-nurb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-2900b-nurb.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-2900b-nurb-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-2900b-nurb-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-2900b-nurb-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The following year, it was owned by a film studio in Darmstadt, then passed into the hands of an American in the US Air Force, David Holtorf, who shipped it to the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-chicago.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-chicago.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-chicago-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-chicago-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/alfa-romeo-8c-chicago-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But by this time, the 8C had lost its original heart: the 8-cylinder engine had been replaced by a 6C 2500.
