THE ARTICLE

This photo was originally published with the article Alfa Romeo Alfetta 158: the 159.109, a "Milanese" in Turin.

 

READ THE ARTICLE
Today, establishing how many Alfettas were made is a hard task, but we can reasonably state that five original cars got as far as us. Among these, one in particular stands out, kept at the MAUTO - Museo dell'Automobile of Turin. Still with the signs of battle of yesteryear, this car is the one that spent most time on the racing tracks. SpeedHolics “met” the car to tell its story and remember the extraordinary adventures of what was to become the “Biscione’s” first Formula 1 car.

  • WELCOME
    Right from the very beginning, SpeedHolics has strived to deliver unparalleled insights, thought-provoking articles and captivating narratives in the realm of Classic Sports Cars and Classic Motorsport. In a time where the environmental implications of traditional combustion engines and mobility are under scrutiny, the need to preserve this incredibly rich history is more pressing than ever. It is a legacy that demands commemoration, and must be celebrated for what it is – art, passion, ingenuity, grit, courage, and sheer genius. We at SpeedHolics are distinguished by the core philosophy that resonates throughout our work: a deep-rooted passion for speed, sport, and that racing heritage that has left an indelible mark on the world of engineering and culture across generations. Our commitment to excellence is reflected not only in our journalistic integrity and historical accuracy but also in the calibre of our imagery, showcasing only the finest visual narratives. We craft our content with a discerning eye, catering to an audience that values depth, seeks to broaden its horizons and revels in the daily engagement with automotive masterpieces. As we proudly unveil 'Yearbook 2', we invite you to explore and relish the rich stories and stunning visuals that await you within its pages. We hope you enjoy what you discover inside these covers.
  • WHAT DRIVES US
    The two core values behind SpeedHolics’ work are these: “Passion and Curiosity”. These are more than just words, they’re essential character traits. Without our passion for classic motorsports, we’re nothing. And without our curiosity for the lesser known stories, the forgotten memories, and the under-heralded heroes, we’d have nothing to talk about. We like to think we’re more than that. Even more importantly, we believe that you deserve better than that. With this in mind, we’ve continuously strived to up our game with the work we produce. At the beginning, we simply worked with motoring photographers around the world and shared their work. During the last year, we’ve evolved into a multimedia platform – editorial, videography, photography – all driven by a coterie of industry leaders, passionistas, and motoring sages. Recently, we have extended our interest to performance and racing cars out there that are waiting for a new collector and we created a completely new marketplace. Be sure, much more is yet to come. As the team has grown and the audience has multiplied, we’re glad that our core values haven’t wavered. SpeedHolics is still fuelled by passion, and steered by curiosity. It always will be.

WHAT MAKES OUR PRINTS UNIQUE

SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR

CERTIFICATE OF AUTENTICITY

Our certificates of Authenticity are signed by the authors with the Hahnemühle Signing Pencil, a high-quality graphite pencil for unmistakable signature on matt, satin, and high-gloss paper surfaces.

The classic graphite pen is black and in archival quality. It is ideal for matt and textured paper surfaces.

The Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity was designed to protect the security and genuineness of limited edition art works and reproductions on Hahnemühle paper and to reduce the risk of forgery.

Each certificate is made of premium deckle edged mould made paper with a Hahnemühle watermark and fluorescent security fibres. A serialized numbered hologram is added. A second, identically numbered hologram is then be applied to the reverse side of the artwork. 
The combination of certificate and hologram assures that each Certificate of Authenticity relates to one particular piece of art. Text and layout of the certificate can be created individually.
