I read through the wiki and this alpha has an interesting history. To my mind more interesting than the car itself. It was supposedly kept in a garage until 1946 when the owner in Hungary drove it under the border gate at high speed on Christmas eve to escape the Communist regime.
The border guards were shooting at him for his crime of escaping their control. Sure makes a good point for the capitalistic free enterprise system over the socialist big government.

It was evidently a development by a couple of Eastern European brothers, made in parallel with an official Alfa racing car with a possible sports car derivative.
