It is a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C. According to the guys at the shop, it’s worth $18 million. They’re doing a complete tear down, even though it looks impeccable. Dunno why, they were pretty busy. I love going to that shop, they work on one of the only Talbots in the country, and they’ve also got a chassis with part of a body on it that says “Joe Stutz Special” on it.

This is the second 8C they’ve worked on, they did restoration work on this one as well

Zoot suit-boss mode supreme.

I would give a body part to spend some time with that car, just taking it in.

Haha if it was west van I'd be less surprised. It's actually lower lonsdale, not traditionally a happening place for monied individuals
