Please Buy this Gorgeous Pre-War Alfa Romeo 6C
If you're not in the mood to take your Miura SV or Duesenberg SJ to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this year, why not pick up something new, like this 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C?
Welcome to You Must Buy, our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan.
This particular car is a series three 6C, one of 121 examples produced. Being a top-spec 1750 SS model, it sports a 1750-cc twin-cam supercharged straight-six, a shortened chassis, and lightweight bodywork. The SS (Super Sport) models were the pick of the lineup for racers around Europe, taking two overall victories in the Mille Miglia. Also, it looks stunning.
According to the sellers at Hyman Ltd., this car's bodywork was updated in England by the owner in 1935 to reflect that of the then-new Alfa Romeo 8C. After that, it spent much of its time in South Africa, being driven to numerous events celebrating vintage motorcars. In 2012, the car was sold to a US collector, and underwent a complete cosmetic and mechanical restoration.
The car is now listed for sale at Hyman Ltd. in St. Louis, Missouri, for no less than $1,875,000. A bargain, of course, for most Pebble Beach attendees.
