1935 |
Sold to Raymond Sommer, France |
and raced by him in the mid-thirties. Later in 1935, | |
Sommer also bought one of the 1934 Tipo Bs (chassis 50004) | |
and campaigned both that year as a team. | |
Sommer’s Alfa Romeos were both painted in the French racing blue. |
1936 |
Sold to W. C. Deveraux, UK |
for Chris Stanilard to drive and the car was conducted with some success by him. | |
The Alfa Romeo remained in Sommer’s blue livery that year. |
1937 |
At the end of the 1937 season, in which the P3 had only raced once |
at the Campbell Trophy meet, it was decided to modify the Alfa considerably | |
for further work at Brooklands. The work was undertaken by J.S. Worters | |
and included a new 4-speed gearbox, a Lockheed hydraulic braking system with | |
|
larger drums, a stiffer frame, modified leaf spring suspension and an aerodynamic |
|
body. The ‘Multi-Union’ Special was born. |
1938/oct |
Stanilard took a number of records at Brooklands, |
including the Class D Flying-Start over distances of five kilometres (at 139.5mph), | |
five miles (at 139.9mph), | |
ten kilometres (at 139.6mph) and finally, | |
ten miles (138.9mph). | |
The ‘Multi-Union’ also set a new Lap Record for the Outer-Circuit (Class D) | |
at a very fast 141.45mph. |
1938/late |
At the end of the 1938 season, further work was undertaken on the car and the |
|
resultant machine is often referred to as ‘Multi-Union II’. The front part of the chassis |
|
frame was removed and the old rigid beam axle replaced by an Italian Tecnauto |
|
I.F.S. system and the rest of the rear suspension was also altered to cope. The |
|
coachwork was altered once more and ended up looking rather like a W125 |
|
Mercedes Benz. |
1939 |
Stanilard had a couple of further outings at Brooklands during 1939 |
but with the outbreak of war, the career of the ‘Multi-Union’ came to a close and | |
it dropped out of sight for a number of years. |
194. |
Chris Stanilard was chief test pilot for Fairey Aviation, but was killed during WWII. |

1978 |
Sold to Chris Mann, London, UK |
who similarly raced it. |
1985 |
Chris Mann decided to resurrect the identity of the ex-Stanilard P3, |
stripping the ‘Multi-Union’ of the genuine Alfa Romeo parts which remained on the |
Special. |
Work on the P3 identity progressed slowly (the project lasted from 1985 until 1991) |
Meanwhile, the remaining ‘Multi-Union’ parts were sold to the late David Black, UK | |
who planned to rebuild that identity as well. | |
