Automotive Showroom — 2 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. Alfa Romeo was founded in Milan in 1910, and the Quadrifoglio — the four-leaf clover badge — has marked the marque's highest-performance models since Ugo Sivocci's 1923 victory at the Targa Florio. The Tipo 33 family dominated endurance racing through Autodelta in the late 1960s and early 1970s; the 8C Competizione revived Alfa's supercar lineage in limited numbers from 2007; the Giulia GTAm channeled that touring-car aggression into modern ETCC competition. Mercedes-Benz adopted the Silver Arrows nickname after stripping paint to meet weight limits — bare aluminium that read as silver under race-day light. The W125 Rekordwagen pursued absolute speed on AVUS; the W196 delivered Juan Manuel Fangio's 1954 and 1955 world titles; the 300SL Gullwing translated the W194 racing programme into a road-going icon whose doors became shorthand for post-war German engineering ambition.
