A rare and exquisite automotive recreation has found its home at the DFW Car & Toy Museum, offering car enthusiasts and history buffs an extraordinary glimpse into pre-war racing engineering. The Alfa Romeo 2900B Mille Miglia Spider Recreation represents a faithful homage to one of the most revered racing machines of the 1930s.
Originally designed for the grueling Mille Miglia and 24 Hours of Le Mans racing events, the original Alfa Romeo 2900B was a groundbreaking sports car. Only four of these exceptional vehicles were ever produced, making them among the most coveted vintage automobiles in existence.
British classic car enthusiast Stephen Muir undertook the ambitious project of recreating this legendary machine after realizing the near impossibility of acquiring an original. Working with the Appenine Car Company and Spydersport of Peterborough, UK, Muir commissioned a meticulously crafted recreation that honors every detail of the 1938 original.
The recreation features a hand-formed aluminum body and a sophisticated Weslake-designed straight-eight engine. Built by combining two Alfa Romeo Alfetta four-cylinder engines, the 3.9-liter powerplant is topped with quad Weber 40DCOE carburetors, delivering both stunning performance and historical authenticity.
Notably, this particular recreation remains the only example in existence, as the Appenine Car Company never secured funding for a broader production run. The vehicle gained significant recognition in automotive circles, including a feature in the June 1995 issue of Classic and Sports Car magazine.
Visitors to the DFW Car & Toy Museum can now experience this remarkable automotive artifact as part of The Ron Sturgeon Collection. Located in North Fort Worth, the museum offers free admission and a climate-controlled environment that showcases over 200 cars and 3,000 toys.
This extraordinary Alfa Romeo 2900B Mille Miglia Spider Recreation represents more than just a vehicle—it is a testament to automotive passion, engineering excellence, and the preservation of motorsport history.
