Alfa Romeo will be celebrating its centenary year in style at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (2-4 July).
The renowned Italian manufacturer has chosen the famous speed festival to celebrate its 100th birthday and will mark the occasion by displaying a striking automotive ‘sculpture’ in front of Goodwood House.
In addition to the ‘Central Feature’ sculpture, Alfa Romeo will also display a number of stunning vehicles, including cars never seen before in the UK, to represent its first 100 years.
It is expected that more than 50 important Alfa Romeos will attend the 2010 Festival, ranging from examples of the pre-War P3, Monza, 12C-37 and 2900 B Le Mans, through to the 159 ‘Alfetta’, GTAm, Tipo 33, 185T, 164 Pro Car, and the unique V10-powered SE 048SP Group C prototype. It is hoped that the legendary Brabham-Alfa Romeo BT46B ‘fan car’ may also make a rare public appearance.
The brand new Alfa Giulietta, which goes on sale in the UK this summer, will also make its UK public debut at the Goodwood ‘Moving Motor Show’ on Thursday 1 July, giving British motorists their very first opportunity to see the car and drive it up the famous Goodwood Hill.

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
