Alfa Romeo captured in a piece of artwork...

Guest of honour at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year, Alfa Romeo showed over 50 of its cars, of which both past and present could be seen. Out of the 50 cars shown at the Festival which took place over four days, 16 of the cars were exclusive models belonging to the Alfa Romeo History Museum that is based in Italy.

As a tribute to the Alfa Romeo make, a sculpture was erected inspired by the cloverleaf badge that it is the Alfa Romeo iconic logo. Created by designer Gerry Judah, the sculpture was made to capture the spirit of the Italian brand and most importantly the cars that Alfa Romeo have created throughout the years. Four Alfa Romeo models, including the 1993 155 DTM and the Le Mans Speciale took part in the displays at the Goodwood Festival as well as the Goodwood Hill climb which is a 2km course lined with trees. Testing drivers and pushing them to their limits, the demanding course commands attention to detail and great precision; a great race to watch.

The Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is a head turner thanks to its incredible engine growl as well as its beautiful looks and it amazed onlookers at the Festival as it made its way through the crowds competing in the race. Lipscomb Contract Hire in Kent has had particular success with their range of sporty cars including the Giulietta with customers requiring a car that has not only the looks but the power to back it up.
