The 2025 Goodwood Revival celebrated a centenary of Alfa Romeo might, from its pre-war brilliance to the ultimate glory of the 1975 World Championship, with a parade of 50 of the firm's most famous racing cars braving the elements for a daily showcase.

A red-stripped pale-blue Alfa Romeo P3 had one of the best stories behind it. Raced in Uruguay for tax reasons, it was smuggled out of the country, crossing the River Plate on a raft built from oil drums. Another P3 wore a Prancing Horse because it had competed for Enzo Ferrari's race team in the 1930s before he began building his own cars.

Then came the #41 158 'Alfetta' or 'Little Alfa', a car synonymous with domination. Initially intended for the pre-World War voiturette formula, the 158 went on to crush the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship in 1950 and remains one of the sport's most iconic creations, with later 159 versions of the Alfetta capable of reaching 190mph.

This parade of iconic Alfa Romeos has to be seen to be believed

A glorious Tipo 33/TT/3 celebrated Alfa Romeo’s time in early 1970s sportscar racing, powered by a 3.0-litre V8 that matched the power of the Ferrari V12s and was lighter. The 'TT' in its name denoted its tubular chassis, which replaced the aluminium-skinned tub design of the T33/3. The car finished second behind Ferrari in the World Sportscar Championship despite never winning a race.

The parade featured everything from the classics above to the stunning 6C 3000 CM Spider, as well as beautifully proportioned Alfa Romeo GTA Sprints that still race at the Revival today. But why read about the action when you can watch a whole parade by clicking the video at the top of your screen…?
