1951 Schick/Alfa Romeo 8C 2300

Of all the 8C 2300s, this singular chassis (2311229) has one of the most interesting histories. After being used in Europe, it was sent over the America in 1950s and eventually converted into a race car with various American engines. Fortunately, it has remained this way and is currently fitted with a Mercury V8.

In 1935, this 8C started out life as a Castagna-style Drophead Coupé and was used in England. It was shipped overseas and was acquired by Tommy Lee. He raced the car with its standard body and once it was worn out, handed it down to his mechanic Gil Schick.
