1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport Cabriolet

Clothed in elegant Pinin Farina Cabriolet coachwork over the top-of-the-line competition derived Super Sport chassis, this exceptional example of the 6C 2500 model is among the finest examples we have ever had the opportunity to offer for sale. This elegant motorcar, chassis number 915811, was delivered on December 30th, 1949 to I.T.A.C Spa of Rome, Italy. It is reported that the Alfa remained with its original owners until the early 2000s and by that point, had only traveled 19,000 kilometers from new. Furthermore, its original engine, number 928114, has remained with the cabriolet throughout the entirety of the vehicle's life. At some point in the 1990s, a bevy of cosmetic work was completed which included a repaint, a new top, and a reupholstered interior.

After coming into the hands of its second owner in the Aughts, the Super Sport Cabriolet had made the trip stateside and was campaigned at the National Alfa Meet where it received the coveted Pat Braden Award. In addition, the Alfa was also shown at Meadowbrook, The Glenmoore Gathering, Auto Historica V in Chicago, and The Masterpiece Concours in Milwaukee.

Just 3 years ago in 2016, the car found its 3rd owner who had soon after decided to commission an extensive nut and bolt restoration to be performed by Salzano Studio in Miami, Florida. Photos on file display the detailed work on the vehicle, which had been brought down to its bare frame. As it sits today, this 6C presents as one of the finest Pinin Farina Super Sport Cabriolets on the road wearing a traditional Italian sanguine red exterior over a delectable chocolate interior. The quality of the restoration was affirmed upon its invitation to be shown in Monterey, California at the Concorso Italiano 2017. While at the prestigious event, which hosts some of the world's finest Italian cars, the car won the award for "Best Alfa Romeo".

With only 383 Examples Constructed from 1939–1951, Alfa Romeo 6C 2500s are rare- Cabriolet versions even more so- and this superb Super Sport represents an exciting opportunity to acquire one of these historically important and eligible cars, restored magnificently well.
