[Sidney Gage <sid@domain.elided>]

To All,

The following announcement is going out to the vintage motoring press 
and other media. Mark your calendars.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 50
Cinquanti Anni 1954 - 2004


San Francisco, Ca., February 1st, 2003

Classic Sports Racing Group and the world-famous California Mille 
have announced a joint celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 
Alfa Romeo Giulietta, to take place in the San Francisco Bay Area and 
Northern California from April 24 to May 2, 2004. The Giulietta 50 
celebration will feature a special one-time "Alfa Mille" tour to run 
concurrent with the 2004 California Mille, and a CSRG race weekend 
honoring vintage and historic racing Alfa Romeos.

The California Mille draws a number of fine vintage automobiles from 
around the world every April for a four-day tour of Northern 
California.  CSRG, now in its 35th year, is the oldest vintage-racing 
organization on the West Coast with an outstanding history of quality 
events.

Alfa Romeo's Giulietta, the jewel of a car that delighted drivers and 
gave the prestigious Milan auto-maker a new lease on life in the 
post-war era, was introduced at the Turin Auto Show in April of 1954. 
Car enthusiasts around the world revere its fine performance, style, 
and racing potential to this day.

Martin Swig, founder of the California Mille, said, "The Giulietta 
was the first affordable, sophisticated Italian car sold in America. 
It introduced us to a whole new level of sportscar excellence. And we 
in California purchased the lion's share of Spiders and Sprints, so 
it make sense to begin the Giulietta's 50th anniversary celebration 
here."

Carl Moore, President of CSRG, stated, "We invite vintage and 
historic Alfa Romeo racers from all over the world to join us in the 
CSRG tradition of racing and camaraderie with appreciation for the 
cars and respect for each other. CSRG is pleased to join the 
California Mille in offering a first-class celebration of the Alfa 
Giulietta."

The classic Alfa Romeos taking part in this celebration range from 
the 20's to the 80's and include some of the great racing Alfas of 
legend - 6C 1500, 6C 1750, Monza, P3, 6C 3500, 8C 2900, GTA, and GTZ, 
the ever popular street models like the Giulietta, 1900, Sprint 
Speciale, Giulia, GTV, as well as a number of Alfa-powered specials 
and sports racers.

The celebration will kickoff with an Alfa Concours by the Bay on 
Sunday, April 25th, followed by the Alfa Mille and culminating with a 
weekend of vintage racing and Alfa track tours at Thunderhill Park in 
Willows, CA on April 30th through May 2nd.

Further information and applications for participation will be made 
available as exact times and locations become finalized.
