Description: This is the Pocher Alfa Romeo K78 Model Kit to build the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza “Muletto” model car. This Kit is STILL FACTORY SEALED so 100% new and 100% complete, as you can see from the following pictures.
This is the number 09 on the 25 Classic Series models.
This 1/8 scale model car is made out of various materials making a total of 1450 pieces, out of which 257 pieces of high resistance plastic, 810 pieces of brass, 255 pieces of stainless steel, and 128 pieces of other materials including steel, iron, copper, rubber, etc…
This model is the genuine reproduction of a spider bodied prototype. In 1931, when new auto racing regulations were implemented, Alfa Romeo resolved to develop a new 8 cylinders racer. For power, they selected the proven veteran 165 hp motor 5400 rpm. The engine was housed in a completely new body designed in accordance with the new regulations then in effect. Its debut at the 9th Grand Prix of Italy brought Alfa Romeo a fabulous success and the trail of victories continued throughout 1931 and 1932. Through additional technical improvements which increased the engine output to 178 hp, speeds of up to 225 km/h could be achieved. Probably the best known driver of this model was Caracciola. In 1932 he captured 2nd place at the Monaco Grand Prix, just 3 seconds behind Nuvolari’s similar car. That proved to be the beginning of a long series of triumphal successes: 2nd place at the Avus Race, behind Brauchitsch’s Mercedes with an average speed of 194 km/h; winner at the Eifel and Polish Grand Prixs; as well as the victor at the mountain races at Kesselberg and Mont Ventoux. As an honor to the car’s stamina, Caracciola nicknamed the car “Muletto”.
