Alfa Romeo is the gold sponsor for the 2014 Mille Miglia regularity race, which takes place later this week. Under current regulations cars that compete in the modern Mille Miglia must have competed in the original era of the event (1927–1957). Thankfully for our eyes this 1954 Alfa Romeo 2000 Sportiva did just that.
The 2000 Sportiva is very rare and according to Wikipedia only two roadsters and two coupés were made. It was planned to enter the 2000 Sportiva into full production, but that didn’t eventuate.
All that means is we are left with this image above. What a gorgeous car! You can read a little more about the car from Alfa Romeo after the break.
