The Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 was one of Alfa's most popular models and enjoyed great racing success throughout the 1930s.
Launched originally in 1929 as an evolution of the 6C 1500, winner of the 1928 Mille Miglia, the 6C 1750 enjoyed a meteoric racing career, including a Mille Miglia hat-trick, with Tazio Nuvolari's winning car posting an average over 100 km/ h.
The 6C 1750 also recorded superb results at the Targa Florio, the Tourist Trophy and the 24 Hours of Spa in the early 1930s.
The Sport and Super Sport versions were produced for only two years, and many 6Cs were built in sedan and sporting coupe bodystyles.
Our Alfa Romeo 6C 1750, built in 1931 with a Torpedo coachwork, was sold new in Milan to Mr Aldo Besnati on 6 March 1935, who then kept it for Mr Rotondi of Milan, probably a dealer.
On 30 March 1935, the car was resold to Mr Luigi Guarnaschelli of Piacenza, and its registration plate was altered to 5042-PC (the plate it still bears today).
After the war, in 1949 more precisely, the car underwent a restyling. The new bodywork was built by Carrozzeria Ferranti of Rome, the same one it carries today.
The car retained its original registration plate and the engine remained the same.
Over the years, the braking system was upgraded to hydraulic.
In 2019, the car underwent a major service and the engine was fully overhauled by a specialist in Italy.
In June 2024, the car underwent a fresh overhaul to prepare for the Vernasca Silver Flag.
This is a rare opportunity to own a genuine collectible with a well-documented history and perhaps one of the most collectible Alfa Romeo models, which inspired Enzo Ferrari to build his legendary empire.
The car is on display in our showroom in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
