Modelcars24 authentic Alfa Romeo P3 Caracciola, winner GP Monza 1932, one of six. The first model of our „Authentic“ Series. We capture the spirit of motorsport and bring models of what they look like after a race. Before transforming a high-quality model, you need to research the race in question. What was the race like, what was the weather like, what was the condition of the race track? All important things to make the model perfect.
Now, we finished the job for our first “Authentic Model”. All six CMC Alfa P3 models are completed.
Rudolf Caracciola won the Monza GP in 1932. A masterpiece! Based on the CMC Alfa P3, we have done 6 models in authentic style as they might have looked after the race. The models come with a plaque, certificate and display case.
Back then, Monza was already largely a street circuit. Nevertheless, the cars got a lot of dust. But not as much as, for example, at the Klausen race, which was driven on a gravel track. Our Alfa therefore only has a little road dirt on the body. In the hectic pace of the race, a little gasoline was spilled. Historical images show that the cars were mostly refuelled from the right. Corresponding traces of gasoline can be found on the rear of the Alfa.
When getting in and out, Rudolf Caracciola inevitably came across the body in his racing suit. Therefore, the model is free of dirt in the entry area. Here the body shines, as it did before the race. The exhaust shows the hard strain of the race, there is soot in many places. The muffler was not tightly connected to the pipes, so there is a speck of slightly more dirt here. During the pit stop, the mechanics got to the manifold a little bit and wiped away the soot there. Winning a race back then wasn’t a walk in the park, as the sweat marks on the leather of the Alfa seat show.
A great limited edition model, only six pieces, that tries to capture the racing atmosphere of 1932.

Considering the bonkers cost of a CMC nowadays, and the amount of research and thought that’s clearly gone into this model, it’s nowhere near as expensive as I expected it to be. Looks like it’s very nicely done. If I hadn’t already spent a small fortune on diecast this year I would’ve been tempted by this.
I agree with SPIKYONE. Looks great, and the work involved is huge. Very good value.
