„Le Pur Sang” today refers to a small Argentine company that happens to build stunningly exact recreations of the greatest pre-war classics in history. It was founded by Argentine enthusiast and master restorer Jorge Anadon.

This spectacular automobile is much like any other Pur Sang, so much more than just a replica (a word with understandably negative connotations). It is a true recreation. This finely crafted piece of kinetic art is accurate down to the smallest pieces of hardware. Event he tooling marks remain on the inside of the bodywork and the engine block is cast using the same methods as were used in Milano over 80 years ago. The gorgeous 2.3 litre supercharged straight-eight engine is a marvel of engineering, even by modern standards. Recreated to the highest of standards, this is a strong running and utterly addicting machine.

Of course, the beauty of the Pur Sang Alfa Romeo 8C is that it can be used as the original designers indented. Since the original Alfa 8C has become perhaps too valuable to be used hard on the road, the Pur Sang comes into its own, and this particular example has been absolutely sorted with no expense spared to ensure it is absolutely reliable and enjoyable on even the longest runs. Wearing Targa Florio 2-seat bodywork, i tis finished in gorgeous red paint with saddle brown leather in the minimalist cockpit. The basic of bodywork includes period correct lamps, a side mount spare wheel, high-mounted Grand Prix style exhaust and a single Brooklands windscreen for the driver. It is a bare-bones machine, the essence of the pre-war competition car.

Please note that this lot is offered without registration documents, just with the bill of sale. Nevertheless, French Carte Gris for the 1965 Alfa Romeo 2.6 is included in the sale.
