In 1918 Romeo’s various companies were merged under a single name and in 1920 Romeo’s name was added to Alfa. The RL was considered to be Giuseppe Merosi’s masterpiece. Displayed for the first time at Alfa Romeo’s showroom in the via Dante, Milan in 1921, it immediately entered production in both standard and sports versions. Its manufacture continued until 1927. The RL was raced between 1929 and 1927 and it won 90 victories in the touring class. It competed mainly in hill-climbs and endurance races. Neither the first nor the second series had front brakes, but by September 1923, the third series had front and rear drum brakes. | ||||||||
