Designed by Vittorio\nJano, the car was based on the Alfa-Romeo 8C models. The P3 was Alfa-Romeo’s\nsecond single-seater after the Tipo-A monoposto of 1931. It took over some\ncomponents of the earlier very successful Alfa-Romeo P2, which led to the\nunofficial name “P3” in the press and among motorsport enthusiasts. Thanks to\nthe numerous victories achieved by Tazio Nuvolari and Achille Varzi, among\nothers, it is considered one of the best competition cars ever built.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe chassis with longitudinal spars and cross members made\nof pressed steel C-sections, derived from that of the Tipo A, was adapted to\nthe regulations and modified to accommodate the new engine. This version of the\nengine had a larger displacement of 2654 cm³ (bore × stroke: 65 × 100 mm) than\nthe turbocharged in-line eight-cylinder engine of the 8C 2300 “Monza”. It was\nadvanced for its time, with a light alloy cylinder block and head split into\ntwo halves, each with four cylinders. Jano divided the block to reduce the\ntorsional vibrations of the crankshaft and camshafts by placing all the power\ntake-offs in the centre of the crankshaft: the drive for the camshafts, on the\nside the drive for the supercharger fans and opposite on the exhaust side the\ndrive for the pumps for oil and cooling water. The crankcase was in one piece.\nThe engine had dry sump lubrication, two Roots compressors and two Weber\ncarburettors, magneto ignition and water cooling. It produced 215 hp at 5600\nrpm.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe four-speed gearbox and the multi-plate clutch were\nblocked to the engine.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe wheels were suspended front and rear on rigid axles with\nsemi-elliptic leaf springs and friction shock absorbers, rear springs and shock\nabsorbers were double. The drum brakes were mechanically operated. A novelty of\nthe type B P3 was the placement of the differential directly behind the manual\ngearbox. From there, the power was transmitted to the rear wheels via bevel\ngear pairs with two diagonally arranged shafts. The differential being further\nforward reduced the unsprung masses and the load on the rear axle. This was to\nreduce the tendency to oversteer and the driver’s seat could be mounted\ndirectly on the floor panel in the sense of a low centre of gravity between\nthese shafts.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis 700 kg single-seater with its simple, streamlined\nbodywork reached 225 km\/h.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTazio Nuvolari won the very first race of the Tipo B\/P3 on 5\nJune 1932 at the 10th Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The season continued with\nsix more victories for Alfa-Romeo, including the most important Grands Prix of\nthe time, namely those of France and Germany (at the Nürburgring). The second\ndriver was the German Rudolf Caracciola. Thanks to these successes, Alfa-Romeo\nwon the International Automobile Championship with Nuvolari, which in that year\nwas based on the Grands Prix of Italy, France and Germany.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1933, the factory team “Alfa-Romeo” was closed due to\nAlfa-Romeo’s financial problems. Direct participation in competitions was\nconsequently suspended. All of Alfa-Romeo’s racing material was handed over to\nScuderia Ferrari in Modena, which had prepared and fielded the racing cars\nsince 1929. That year, the Tipo B did not take part in the first 25\ncompetitions and did not compete again until August. It won six of the\nremaining eleven races, including the Italian and Spanish Grands Prix.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"CMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45784682987603,"sku":"CMC M-258","price":1460.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/2412\/0659\/files\/57_27416e80-32ec-4701-a907-2e9aec436dcb.png?v=1783199542","url":"https:\/\/strawhatjim.com.au\/products\/cmc-m-258-alfa-romeo-p3-1933-clear-finish-1-18-le300","provider":"Straw Hat Jim","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
