Beschreibung
Chassis No. 915677
Body No. 3310
The Alfa Romeo 6C represents one of the most important Italian grand tourers of the immediate post-war period. The 6C was the bridge between pre- and post-war production for Alfa Romeo and served as their last truly hand-built offering, with mechanical roots in the pre-war era, but with coachwork that definitively pointed to the future.
This particular example, chassis 915677, wears the graceful Superleggera Coupe coachwork of Carrozzeria Touring. According to Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 by Angelo Tito Anselmi, the car is believed to have been delivered to first owner Fernando Ghedini of Bologna on 9 March 1949. Its known history resumes when it was registered in the U.K. on 6 June 1982, belonging to noted Alfa collector Carol Spagg. The car was sold on 27 December 1985, then acquired by renowned collector Fuad Mazjub-the consignor's late father-via Brian Classic Ltd., reportedly in complete, original condition. Documentation indicates that some engine work was carried out during the early-mid 1990s by Chris Pyke Associates of Salisbury.
Today, the Alfa Romeo is presented as a true "barn find" and comprehensive restoration project. The car is accompanied by a 6C 2500 engine and four-speed transmission (condition unknown), and retains most of its instruments and interior components. It also sits on two original Borrani wire wheels at the rear.
For Alfisti seeking a compelling project, this 6C 2500 Super Sport offers a chance to breathe new life into one of the most elegant and technically advanced Italian grand tourers of its era.
