Here is that glorious 4.95 L flat-12 engine from our 917LH, chassis #917/043. The chassis is pressurized with gas. It has a valve and a gauge so you can see if there's any cracks in it. The chassis is also bonded to the body with small pieces of fiberglass cloth. The rear body is reinforced with thin balsa wood slats.
In our collection we have a 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza Spyder by Zagato. She has her original chassis (#2211112) body, engine and transaxle - a combination which is quite rare for this series. She finished 2nd at 1933 Mille Miglia, and raced at Le Mans in 1938. You can drive this car with your fingertips.
