In 1976 an enthusiast splashed out the equivalent of €10,000 and bought himself a very special old Alfa Romeo. The car, a rare 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta, stayed in the same family until last weekend when it became the auction superstar of the Retromobile show in Paris, selling for almost €17,000,000, or £14.9m.
