Alfa Romeo Mito Red Bird M1
This car's history is widely known, amongst the Alfa groups, and particularly the Modified Communites, are big fans of the vehicle. She stood out everywhere she went thanks to her distinctive livery, stance, and vibrant hexagons. Her narrative is concise and to the point. This was my first vehicle, which I loved for a very long period until the day she could no longer be driven safely. Letting her go remains one of the most painful decisions I have ever made.
Following every modification I made to my car—aside from the elevating springs—. It happened by mistake.) Since many of you already know why, for those of you who do not, here's why I opted to basically have the car as a one-of-a-kind design. It's a Mito Veloce, of course!
As all know, the MiTo was announced in 2008. The renowned and fabled Alfa 8C served as the model for the Mito. A unique comic book named Robin #171 was released during this period. We don't see that Robin has a car, despite the batmobile being one of the most well-known fictional vehicles in existence.
It's referred to as the Red Bird. Naturally, this is unrelated to mitos. Still. This resulted from a great deal of research that included looking through numerous books and 'edition' names.
After reading through the pages, I discovered that the Red Bird is an Alfa that has been rebranded with the Robin Logo. The Alfa in question that has been used is an Alfa 8C, and combining all the research into one indicates that the car that was inspired by the 8C was a mito, which makes the name "Red Bird" ideal for my one-of-a-kind gem!
I also made the decision to design a logo and have it printed, among other things. I made sure that the logo cuts followed the front of the mito, including the lines on the bonnet and the lower grilles, and that it had distinct cues and components. The Mito's scudetto grille is the bird's tail! Because we sit on the right in the UK, I made the bird's head face that direction. Small details like these helped to make this the nicest thing I have ever done for my mito! I've got a plaque placed beneath the badge and the badge printed and produced which I attached to my car.
