The Alfa Romeo car has done some wonderful things during the past season, including the acquisition of the Blue Riband of the motoring sports world, the Grand Prix. There are two sports chassis on the stand, the 15-55 four-cylinder, and the 22-90 super-sports sixcylinder model. Both have overhead valve engines, and four-speed gear boxes : both have brakes on all four wheels, the mechanism being of special design. The dark red body on the larger sports model, which is stated to be capable of a speed of 85 m.p.h., is a splendid
