From1500 cc to 1750 cc, the early 6-cylinder cars of Jano's devising built the foundation for an Italian love story filled with euphoric victory and tragic death, as well as the arrival of one Enzo Ferrari, then a young driver and Alfa Romeo team manager. For the Gran Sport, forced induction raised power from around 64 brake horsepower up to
Owner RM Sotheby’s Hosted by Ozwald Boateng This sublime 6C 1750 has an extensive documented ownership history and even participated in the 1933 Mille Miglia. It has been sympathetically restored, and is one of the oldest cars to appear at the Concours on Savile Row. Alfa introduced the 6C in 1925 to build on its excellent track record in motor sport during the inter-war years, with star drivers such as Antonio Ascari and Giuseppe Campari. Adhering to the win on Sunday, sell on Monday’ ethos, aspects of the competition cars’ engineering would feed into the burgeoning road-model range. The 6C – named for the straight-six engine – could be adapted into Cabriolet, Gran Turismo, Sedan, Spider or Super Sport form by prominent coachbuilders. This top-of-the-line, Zagato-bodied Gran Sport Series V was the finest Italian sports car money could buy. It went through several hands in Italy – during which time it competed in the Mille Miglia – before being transported to Africa and, decades later, the UK. It remained in storage for years before undergoing a sympathetic rebuild with the aim to extol the virtues of its originality while retaining its innate useability.

Dans les annĂ©es 1930, le 6C 1750 possĂ©dait la capacitĂ© unique de remporter des courses autant que des prix de design. Le Mantouan Volant 13 avril 1930. Juste aprĂšs 5 heures du matin, les ombres silencieuses au bord du lac de Garde sont secouĂ©es par le grondement d’un Spider Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport roulant Ă  150 kilomĂštres Ă  l’heure avec les phares Ă©teints. Au volant se trouve Tazio Nuvolari, originaire de Mantoue et surnommĂ© Nivola». À ses cĂŽtĂ©s, Gian Battista Guidotti, pilote d’essai en chef d’Alfa Romeo Ă  l’usine du Portello. C’est un moment clĂ© de cette Ă©dition mythique des Mille Miglia. Achille Varzi est alors leader de la course et vainqueur prĂ©sumĂ©. Cependant, quelques kilomĂštres avant le lac, Ă  VĂ©rone, Nuvolari et Guidotti avaient eu cette idĂ©e incroyable Ă©teindre leurs phares. Leur seul espoir de battre leur rival Ă©tait de le prendre par surprise. L’aube approchait. AprĂšs le lac, la campagne paisible mĂšnerait Ă  la ligne d’arrivĂ©e Ă  Brescia. C’est ici que Varzi et son deuxiĂšme pilote Canavesi allaient dĂ©tecter l’écho d’un autre moteur. Mais il Ă©tait trop tard 
 Avant de rĂ©aliser ce qui se passait, ils avaient Ă©tĂ© dĂ©passĂ©s par une voiture identique Ă  la leur. Nuvolari roulait vers la victoire. Sa vitesse moyenne Ă©tait de 100,45 km/h. C’était la premiĂšre fois que la barriĂšre des 100 km/h de moyenne Ă©tait franchie dans cette course lĂ©gendaire. Un record qui allait faire la une dans toute l’Europe. Dix minutes aprĂšs le vainqueur, c’est un Varzi stupĂ©fait qui arrivait deuxiĂšme. Giuseppe Campari prenait la troisiĂšme place suivi de Pietro Ghersi. Ces quatre pilotes avaient un point commun ils disposaient d’une 6C 1750. Et ils n’étaient pas les seuls. Dans l’heure et demie suivante, d’autres 6C franchissaient la ligne pour un total de huit parmi les onze premiers ! Cette suprĂ©matie absolue devait se rĂ©pĂ©ter cette annĂ©e-lĂ  avec les triplĂ©s remportĂ©s aux 24 heures de Spa en Belgique et lors du Belfast Tourist Trophy. La 6C 1750 Ă©tait tout simplement la voiture la plus rapide de son Ă©poque. La famille 6C Vittorio Jano avait pris en charge toute la planification produits Alfa Romeo en 1926 et le 6C Ă©tait sa premiĂšre crĂ©ation. Sa tĂąche Ă©tait d’inventer une voiture lĂ©gĂšre, brillante et performante» qui gagnerait des courses mais aussi des admirateurs pour conquĂ©rir de Ă©galement de nouveaux marchĂ©s. Le 6C combinait Ă  merveille simplicitĂ© structurelle et ingĂ©nierie sophistiquĂ©e, les qualitĂ©s typiques des crĂ©ations de Jano. Cependant, elle offrait Ă©galement un autre avantage qui allait devenir une spĂ©cialitĂ© d’Alfa Romeo une puissance spĂ©cifique extrĂȘmement Ă©levĂ©e. Jano avait une capacitĂ© Ă©tonnante Ă  tirer la puissance de petits moteurs, ce qui lui a permis d’imaginer ce que nous appellerions aujourd’hui le downsizing concevoir des moteurs avec une cylindrĂ©e comprise entre 1 litre – typique des voitures courantes de l’époque – et 2 ou 3 litres destinĂ©s aux modĂšles de luxe. DĂ©jĂ  Ă  l’époque, les Alfa Romeo disposaient du meilleur rapport poids/puissance 
 et Ă©taient donc les plus rapides. Innovation technologique Cette intuition d’ingĂ©nierie a conduit Ă  une sĂ©rie de modĂšles devenus lĂ©gendaires. Auparavant, l’ingĂ©nieur Merosi avait dĂ©veloppĂ© des moteurs trĂšs originaux pour les grands prix de 1914 stoppĂ©s du fait du dĂ©clenchement de la guerre et dont les principes techniques allaient perdurer pour la future conception des moteurs Alfa Romeo deux arbres Ă  cames en tĂȘte, quatre soupapes par cylindre et double allumage. La 6C 1900 GT et plus tard les 6C 2300 et 6C 2500 avait quant Ă  elle introduit d’autres innovations une suspension Ă  roues indĂ©pendantes et un nouveau chĂąssis avec des composants soudĂ©s et non plus rivetĂ©s pour une rigiditĂ© renforcĂ©e. Les qualitĂ©s de tenue de route des Alfa Romeo allaient elles aussi devenir des Ă©lĂ©ments clĂ©s dans l’ADN si spĂ©cifique de la Marque. Le 6C 1750 On pourrait dire que la 6C 1750, prĂ©sentĂ©e en janvier 1929 au Salon de l’automobile de Rome, exprimait la pleine maturitĂ© de la formule 6C. Le moteur Ă©tait une Ă©volution du prĂ©cĂ©dent moteur en ligne Ă  six cylindres de la 6C 1500. Il allait ĂȘtre produit en diffĂ©rentes versions – simple ou double arbre Ă  cames, avec et sans compresseur volumĂ©trique – et sa puissance variait de 46 ch pour la version Turismo Ă  102 ch pour la Gran Sport testa fissa ». Cette derniĂšre version, trĂšs peu produite, disposait d’une culasse, d’un bloc et d’un carter coulĂ©s d’un seul tenant afin d’éliminer les joints et le risque de les abimer. Le poids de ce bolide n’éxcĂ©dant pas les 840 kg lui assurait une vitesse de pointe de 170 km/h. Le moteur n’était pas le seul facteur qui a fait de la 6C 1750 un must de l’innovation automobile. Elle utilisait aussi un systĂšme de freinage mĂ©canique avec de grands tambours actionnĂ©s par un systĂšme de renvoi. Son chĂąssis en acier embouti Ă©tait parfaitement Ă©quilibrĂ© et d’une rigiditĂ© exceptionnelle et ses essieux Ă©taient renforcĂ©s. Les ressorts Ă  lames Ă©taient montĂ©s Ă  l’extĂ©rieur de la carrosserie plutĂŽt que sous les longerons, contribuant Ă  abaisser le centre de gravitĂ©, au bĂ©nĂ©fice de l’adhĂ©rence en courbe. Le rĂ©servoir de carburant Ă©tait placĂ© plus en arriĂšre afin d’amĂ©liorer l’équilibre et la rĂ©partition des masses. ConformĂ©ment Ă  la philosophie de la marque, toutes ces solutions innovantes allaient ĂȘtre appliquĂ©es tant aux versions routiĂšres qu’en course. Plus la 6C gagnait de courses, plus la rĂ©putation technique impressionnante du modĂšle augmentait. DĂšs son lancement, le 6C 1750 allait bĂ©nĂ©ficier immdiatement d’une forte croissance de ses ventes. Entre 1929 et 1933, 2 579 modĂšles furent produites dans l’usine du Portello, destinĂ©es Ă  l’Italie mais aussi Ă  l’étranger, notamment en Grande-Bretagne et dans le Commonwealth. Un rĂ©sultat exceptionnel, surtout si l’on considĂšre le statut rĂ©solument Ă©litiste de la voiture en Italie par exemple, elle coutaĂźt entre 40 000 et 60 000 lires, soit environ sept ans de salaire moyen
 L’ùre des carrossiers Les 6C Ă©taient non seulement ultra-rapides mais aussi magnifiques. Leur succĂšs devaient en effet aussi beaucoup aux carrossiers qui les ont habillĂ©es en plus de leurs talents artistiques et de designers, ces maĂźtres artisans Ă©taient Ă  mĂȘme de rĂ©unir les mĂ©tiers de sellier, formeur de mĂ©tal ou peintre. Ils ont ainsi marquĂ© leur Ă©poque. Jusqu’aux annĂ©es trente, les chĂąssis nus quittaient les usines de production, Ă©quipĂ©s uniquement de leurs moteur, boĂźte de vitesses et suspensions. Le client achetait ce chĂąssis et chargeait un carrossier de l’habiller sur mesure. Des crĂ©ations pratiquement uniques. Le premier dĂ©partement dĂ©diĂ© Ă  la carrosserie interne Ă  l’usine de Portello n’a pas Ă©tĂ© lancĂ© avant 1933. Ce dĂ©partement propre Ă  Alfa Romeo a dans un premier temps coexistĂ© avec l’organisation prĂ©cĂ©dente qui prĂ©voyait de transfĂ©rer les chĂąssis directement chez les carrossiers. La 6C 1750 offrait une base exceptionnelle pour ces carrossiers qui ont ainsi donnĂ© lieu Ă  la crĂ©ation de quelques-uns des modĂšles parmi les plus Ă©lĂ©gants jamais construits. Des crĂ©ations dĂ»es aux meilleurs stylistes et destinĂ©es aux plus cĂ©lĂšbres VIP de l’époque. La 6C 1750 GS Touring Flying Star» La Flying Star» a Ă©tĂ© conçue pour ĂȘtre aussi irrĂ©sistible que sa propriĂ©taire, Josette Pozzo, millionnaire, mannequin et cĂ©lĂ©britĂ© mondaine. La Flying Star » a Ă©tĂ© conçue spĂ©cialement pour participer au Concours d’élĂ©gance de Villa d’Este de 1931 et construite par la Carrozzeria Touring de Felice Bianchi Anderloni. Le Spider 6C 1750 est une crĂ©ation unique un vĂ©ritable bijou d’originalitĂ©, d’élĂ©gance et de soin du dĂ©tail. Il est entiĂšrement de couleur blanche, y compris le dessous de caisse, les rayons de roue, le volant et la sellerie, la seule exception Ă©tant son tableau de bord noir tout en contraste. Touring a dotĂ© la 1750 de nouvelles proportions, ajoutant une sĂ©rie d’élĂ©gants dĂ©tails esthĂ©tiques inspirĂ©s du style art nouveau, Ă  l’exemple des marchepieds qui sont comme suspendus sous les portes, prolongeant les ailes arriĂšre et sans liaison avec les ailes avant. Finalement, lors du concours de Villa d’Este, cette extraordinaire 6C 1750 GS Touring a remportĂ© la Gold Cup dediĂ© Ă  la plus belle voiture, Josette Pozzo en prenant le volant pour venir recevoir le prix, magnifiquement vĂȘtue d’une tenue blanche assortie.

A vendre Estimer La Gazette VidĂ©os Autopedia Shop Qui sommes-nous ? Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 - Gran Sport Figoni Roadster AchevĂ©e en octobre 1932, cette cinquiĂšme sĂ©rie 6C 1750 Gran 6 fĂ©vrier 2014 4 06 /02 /fĂ©vrier /2014 1900 Peut-ĂȘtre moins connu que plusieurs des modĂšles qui lui ont succĂ©dĂ©, l’Alfa Romeo 1750 est pourtant ce que la marque italienne Ă  fait de mieux durant cette pĂ©riode. PrĂ©sentĂ©e en 1929 en remplacement de la 6C 1500, la nouvelle venue va Ă©voluer, durant les cinq annĂ©es ou elle a Ă©tĂ© produite d’une relativement simple voiture de tourisme vers une performante voiture de compĂ©tition. Le principal artisan de cette mutation Vittorio Jano, dĂ©bauchĂ© chez Fiat par Enzo Ferrari pour mettre ses talents de motoriste au service d’Alfa Romeo. Le premier projet que conduit Jano chez Alfa RomĂ©o est le 6C 1500, un petit six cylindres en ligne. La version, compĂ©tition de ce petit moteur va pourtant rapporter quelques succĂšs en courses notamment la victoire au Mille Miglia en 1928. Le 6C 1750 est prĂ©sentĂ© au salon de l’Automobile de Rome en 1929. Techniquement il ressemble beaucoup au prĂ©cĂ©dent, l’augmentation de la cylindrĂ©e Ă©tant la seule diffĂ©rence notable. Ce moteur est avant tout destinĂ© Ă  Ă©quiper des voitures plus fortement dimensionnĂ©es et plus lourdes. La premiĂšre Ă  voir le jour est la Turismo » dont l’empattement est de 3 100 mm. Peu de temps aprĂšs elle est suivie par une version plus courte baptisĂ©e Sport ». Puis viendra une Super Sport » Ă©quipĂ©e d’un moteur suralimentĂ© dĂ©veloppant 95 cv de puissance maximum. Mais la production des modĂšles Sport » et Super Sport » ne va durer que deux ans. La nouvelle gamme comprendra des modĂšles Gran Turismo » avec motorisation Ă  aspiration naturelle et des Gran Sport » Ă  moteurs suralimentĂ©s, les deux modĂšles ayant le mĂȘme empattement de 2745 mm.. Comme il est d’usage Ă  cette Ă©poque, les voitures sont assemblĂ©es sous forme de chĂąssis roulants envoyĂ©s chez les carrossiers pour l’habillage ». La plupart des 6C 1750 furent carrossĂ©es par les italiens Zagato et Touring, mais d’autres carrossiers, eux aussi italiens, ont travaillĂ© sur quelques chĂąssis d’Alfa RomĂ©o 6C 1750 comme Castagna et Stabilimenti Farina. Pour les voitures de compĂ©tition ce furent plutĂŽt les voitures carrossĂ©es par Zagato qui furent choisies en raison de leur poids plus faible. CotĂ© moteur, le modĂšle prĂ©sentĂ© est un Grand Sport » ou GS » Ă©quipĂ© d’un six cylindres en ligne bloc fonte et culasse en alliage lĂ©ger. Il a une cylindrĂ©e de 1752 cc et, suralimentĂ© par un supercharger, il dĂ©veloppe une puissance maxi de 85 cv Ă  4500 t/mn et un couple maxi de 172 Nm. Il est couplĂ© Ă  une boite de vitesses manuelle Ă  4 rapports. La carrosserie est en aluminium ce qui conduit Ă  un poids Ă  vide relativement faible 920 kg. La voiture peut ainsi atteindre une vitesse de pointe de 145 km/heure. En 1933 l’Alfa Romeo 1750 Gran Sport » sera remplacĂ©e par le modĂšle 8C 2300 et les modĂšles Gran Turismo » par des 6 cylindres en ligne dont la production ne s’arrĂȘtera qu’au dĂ©but de la deuxiĂšme guerre mondiale.

RM Sotheby's propose en 2016 cette magnifique Alfa Romeo 1900C SS Berlinetta Zagato de 1955 avec un prix estimĂ© Ă  1,6 millions d'euros.

Le moteur six cylindres en ligne de 2654 cm3 dĂ©veloppe 215 ch. Il y a un peu plus d'un an, elle a Ă©tĂ© vendue aux enchĂšres, dĂ©passant les 5 millions d'euros. 8 / 12 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Superflow IV 1953 - 7,1 millions d'euros L'Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Superflow IV de 1953 est un chef-d'Ɠuvre de Pininfarina qui n'a pas Ă©tĂ© vendu lors de la derniĂšre vente Gooding & Co Ă  Pebble Beach, oĂč elle atteignait l'estimation maximum de 7,1 millions d'euros. C'est un exemplaire unique, comme tous les autres modĂšles Superflow. 9 / 12 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale 1967-1969 - Plus de 10 millions d'euros Franco Scaglione est le concepteur de cette incroyable Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, une authentique raretĂ© du Biscione produite en seulement 18 exemplaires Ă  partir de 1967 avec le moteur V8 atmosphĂ©rique de 230 ch. Le prototype est exposĂ© au MusĂ©e historique Alfa Romeo Ă  Arese. Il n'est pas facile d'Ă©tablir une valeur monĂ©taire pour ce bijou, Ă©tant donnĂ© qu'aucune 33 Stradale n'a jamais Ă©tĂ© vendue aux enchĂšres. Mais il est facile d'imaginer un prix supĂ©rieur Ă  10 millions d'euros. 10 / 12 Alfa Romeo Tipo 159 "Alfetta" 1951 - 15/20 millions d'euros Dans le domaine des voitures les plus prĂ©cieuses et historiquement importantes, voici l'Alfa Romeo 158/159 "Alfetta", vainqueur monoplace des deux premiers championnats du monde en Formule 1, en 1950 et 1951.

Des quatre exemplaires construits de la Tipo 159, le plus cĂ©lĂšbre est conservĂ© au MusĂ©e Alfa Ă  Arese. Difficile de lui donner un prix. S'il est vrai que la Mercedes-Benz W196R presque rivale a Ă©tĂ© vendue pour 21,7 millions d'euros, on peut estimer pour l'Alfetta si jamais elle est un jour vendue un prix entre 15 et 20 millions d'euros. 11 / 12 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Spider Touring 1939 - 17,7 millions d'euros Pour revenir au monde des certitudes, on retrouve la reine des Alfa, l'Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Long Spider Touring de 1939, qui a changĂ© de mains en 2016 pour 17,7 millions d'euros, un chiffre record pour la marque italienne. C'est l'un des douze Spider Touring produits, avec un moteur de plus de 180 ch, l'une des voitures les plus recherchĂ©es.

Date 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 shines at Motorclassica 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 Without doubt the long-bonnet Alfa Romeos of the 1930s are today among the most sought after collector cars in the world, the 6C-1750 in particular considered one of the most desirable. So it was no surprise that one of Australia’s finest examples owned by Melbourne collector Lawrence Southward would take Best in Show at last year’s MotorClassica in Melbourne. Imported from New Zealand earlier that year,this Italian masterpiece captured the very essence of style and elegance at Australia’s premier classic car showcase for 2018.

Professionally restored in New Zealand, the jet black Alfa stole the show with its intricate mechanicals and fine attention to detail. The post-vintage Milanese sportster had some stiff competition but shone through in the end, taking a class win and then impressing the Best of Show judges including Formula One champion Alan Jones, yours truly, and the design directors of Holden, Ford and Toyota. Read next Holden HT Monaro 2016 Motorclassica winner Elements of this classic sportscar style endured into the 1950s with brands like MG and Morgan The Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 impressed from the moment it was first released. It would win every major racing event it was entered in during 1929 including the Grand Prix of Belgium, Spain, Tunis and Monza as well as that year’s Mille Miglia in the hands of Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi. It would also take out the Brooklands Double Twelve and the Ulster TT that year while the following year would see it win the Spa 24-hours and other road races and hill climbs. It also repeated its win in the Mille Miglia, this time driven by the great Tazio Nuvolari, this event legendary for his duel with teammate Varzi over the last 600km. Nuvolari would overtake Varzi in the early morning with his headlights switched off eventually finishing seven minutes ahead. Read next 1933 MG K3 Magnette recreation No ground-effects design here, just elegant simplicity Few cars have inspired this writer more than lengthy drives in a 6C-1750 in both naturally-aspirated and supercharged form. Built in six series from 1929 to 1933, the 1750 became more sophisticated over this four-year period, released initially in Turismo form, then in the improved Sport, Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo Compressor, Super Sport and, in its highest performance form, the Gran Sport. Just 257 Gran Sports were built in the fourth, fifth and sixth series on the shorter 2745mm wheelbase. Lawrence Southward’s chassis 10814401 is one of 106 fifth series cars and one of 30 constructed in 1932. Furthermore, it is one of just 25 5-series Gran Sports built with the coveted Zagato Spider coachwork. Large slender-rimmed steering wheels were just right for controlling old school racers Zagato was the favoured coachbuilder for the 6C, specialising in the lightweight Superleggera method of placing lightweight alloy body panels over small-gauge steel framework. But the car’s exemplary performance was due in no small part to the genius of the relatively young engineer Vittorio Jano who had been recruited by Enzo Ferrari in 1923 from Fiat. Ferrari had become a test engineer and driver for Alfa Romeo in 1920 later forming his own Scuderia to race their cars. Jano’s first project was the P2 Grand Prix car which would bring much competition success. By 1926 he had become Alfa Romeo’s head of design and soon set about designing a grand touring car with a brand new overhead-cam six-cylinder engine. The 6C-1500 emerged in 1927 and a year later was developed into the 6C-1500 Sport featuring twin overhead camshafts. The addition of a Roots supercharger in 1929 on the 6C-1500 Super Sport would further boost output however by late 1929 a lift in displacement to 1752cc saw the arrival of the first 6C-1750. The Southward 6C had an interesting first English owner in Rupert Edward Lee Featherstonehaugh, better known as Buddy’, a popular Jazz saxophonist and racer. As part of the Billy Mason Band, Featherstonehaugh was touring Britain’s major cities in 1932 with jazz superstar Louis Armstrong and was enjoying enormous success, the financial rewards enabling him to race Alfa Romeos, amongst others,, along the way. Seats look more than tolerably comfortable Perhaps his greatest success pre-war was winning the 1934 Grand Prix in d’Albigeois in a Maserati 26M owned by Whitney Straight. In late 1934 he would part with the 1932 6C-1750 Alfa to another racing driver, Kenneth Evans. Evans was racing an MG R-Type single-seater at the time, later campaigning ERAs and Alfas, finally selling the 6C in the lead up to the war. Induction system finning provides some intercooler effect It is not known what happened to the 6C-1750 during or immediately post war, however it re-surfaced in England in 1951 and by the early 60s was in the hands of George Gray who also owned the ex-Tim Birkin Alfa-Romeo 8C-2300. With interest growing in pre-war Alfas by 1973 the 6C had been imported to New Zealand by Dale Court then ten years on passed to Lawrence Southward’s father Roy in Christchurch. In Roy’s hands it was campaigned extensively in a number of vintage rallies including the 1991 Pan Pacific Rally in Palmerston North. Lawrence also campaigned the car in a number of events from the age of 17. Attention to detail in providing wiring with period insulation is stunning The Southward family was well known in New Zealand for the 400 car Southward Museum in Christchurch, established by Lawrence’s grand-father Sir Len Southward. After considerable use of the 6C, oil was discovered in its water and the decision was taken by Roy to undertake a comprehensive restoration. However ill health would interrupt the project, while his subsequent passing in 2010 saw the project put to one side. Lawrence reinstated the project in late 2012, sending the car to Bristol Restorations in Upper Hutt where it was brought up to Concours standard over a five-year period. Today, this outstanding Alfa Romeo forms part of an impressive cache of collector cars in Southward’s stable including the oldest car in Australia, which is an 1891 Panhard Levassor featuring tiller steering and hot tube ignition. Mechanical brakes in finned drums were state of the art then Also sharing the rarefied atmosphere of his garage space with the Alfa 6C-1750 is a 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Tourer, a 1927 41/2-litre short-wheelbase Bentley Tourer, 1929 Bentley Speed Six Tourer, 1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Saloon and a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 series 4 Coupe. Behind the wheel it’s immediately apparent why the 6C Alfa sportsters were so successful – the vibrant 1750cc straight-six with double overhead camshafts and two inclined valves per cylinder is force-fed from a twin-throat Memeni carburetor by a Roots supercharger running at half engine speed. The engin, with quality aluminium castings and ribbed supercharger, is superbly detailed. It’s a work of art and part of the magic and charm of this Italian sports car. The driver’s wheel is large and, while the car feels initially heavy through the steering, it becomes far more nimble once underway. This is a car that loves to be revved and the further up the rev scale the more its soundtrack becomes intoxicating. At the same time the scream from the supercharger and wail from the four-speed gearbox leaves no doubt you’re driving the next best thing to a full-blown period racecar. With an all-up weight of just 940kg, one can understand why the Alfas swept all before them before the war. Visually, the car’s long bonnet and short tail purveys a powerful sports profile; the relatively long wheelbase ensures the car sits and tracks well on the road, its leaf sprung suspension with strong friction dampers keeping it well controlled and nicely planted on the road. Few post-vintage cars are as satisfying to drive on the open road and it will happily cruise up to 145km/h without any real signs of stress. In Australia, Alfa 6C-1750s are thin on the ground, Gran Sport models in particular, and without doubt the Southward car is one of the best and most deserving of its MotorClassica Best of Show crown. 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 BODY Aluminium Zagato 2-door sports body on pressed-steel chassisENGINE 1752cc DOHC inline six cylinder with Roots blower and twin-throat carburettor POWER 63kW Est 4500rpm PERFORMANCE Top speed 150km/hTRANSMISSION4-speed manualSUSPENSION Front solid axle with semi-elliptics and friction shocks.

Estimate$600,000 - $800,000 USD A thrilling Alfa Romeo featuring timeless Zagato Spider stylingPowered by a supercharged twin-cam 6C engine and four-speed gearboxRides on a correct 108-inch wheelbase, with documented period-correct components throughoutAcquired by Oscar Davis in 2009 from the late Myron Schuster Exhaustively evaluated and maintained by George Historic Motorcars In 1926, Alfa Romeo’s Chief Engineer, Vittorio Jano, set to work on a touring car that was centered around the brand-new overhead-cam, inline six-cylinder engine. The 6C 1500 officially entered production in 1927, and the Sport version, which became available a year later, featured a twin overhead cam that raised output by 10 to a brisk 54 horsepower. In 1929, the 6C 1500 Super Sport was introduced, and it featured two-seat spider coachwork and an optional Roots supercharger, which increased maximum power to 76. For the 1929 model year, Alfa Romeo bumped up engine displacement to 1,750 cubic centimeters, and the resulting 6C 1750 was produced in four more series of gradual improvements over the following six years. The model quickly proved to be one of Alfa’s most popular, and expensive, creations. Nearly 2,600 left the Portobello factory through 1933, each one tabbed at a price hovering around 50,000 lire—an incredible cost considering that most orders left the factory as bare examples of the 6C 1750 series were equipped as the single-cam “Turismo” version. A minority were classified as a “Sport” version, which were built on a 114-inch chassis and equipped with the twin-cam engine. Of the Sport examples, most were clothed with Alfa saloon coachwork and were soon more appropriately renamed “Gran Turismo.” A further, compelling addition to the catalogue was the the topless, Zagato-bodied Super Sport, which rode on an even-shorter 108-inch wheelbase and was available with finned alloy superchargers and intake manifolds to further boost power delivery. These high-performance spiders are some of the rarest and most desirable pre-war models available to discerning 1930, the Super Sport name was updated to Gran Sport. Additional modifications featured an ingenious sloping grille that not only gave the car a more rakish appearance, but also functionally increased the surface area of the radiator for improved cooling. The 6C 1750 series was, quite simply, the fastest road-racing car available at the time—winning nearly every race it OSCAR DAVIS 6C 1750This 6C 1750 was acquired by Oscar Davis in September 2009 from the late Myron Schuster of Baldwin Park, New York. Little is known of the car’s history; according to research compiled by marque expert John de Boer, the 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C Gran Sport bearing the chassis number 8513032 was originally fitted with a Touring-built body that closely resembled the more frequently seen spider coachwork by Zagato. This car disappeared from the public eye circa August 1950, however, and its eventual fate is uncertain. Some years later, this 6C 1750 surfaced in the possession of an Italian enthusiast. It is believed that he assembled the car from Alfa Romeo components from within his collection; any relationship to the earlier car bearing chassis number 8513032 is, at the present, unclear. Davis, endeavoring to learn more about the composition of this car, commissioned George Historic Motorcars of Cochranville, Pennsylvania to complete a full metallurgical analysis and component sequencing report. As George was already the Davis’ choice for maintenance concerns on this Alfa Romeo, they were the ideal firm to shed light on exactly the sort of components which had been assembled to create this 6C 1750 Gran Sport. According to their report, the car is powered by the correct-type supercharged twin-cam Gran Sport engine that shows the crankcase stamping “6C 8513032;” an original-type Memini carburetor is fitted to the supercharger. It is presently believed that the car’s correct 108-inch wheelbase chassis has been restamped to match this crankcase. George notes that the car’s four-speed gearbox, rear differential, and steering box are likely sourced from a Series IV 6C 1750 Gran Turismo. The full analysis of the car’s composition by George is available on file. The very epitome of an early-1930s race car, the Oscar Davis Collection’s 6C 1750 is a fitting tribute not only to those who designed, constructed, and drove these magnificent cars originally, but also to the remarkable enthusiasm and sheer tenacity of its late owner. Impeccably presented and painstakingly restored, it offers a splendid driving experience and fascinating insight into the 6C’s illustrious competition-driven history.

The St. Michaels Concours d'Elegance referred to this car alternately as a 1933 and 1934 in different materials, stating that the car's history is known and documented. Without a

The Ex-Fred Stiles “1930s British Alfa Romeo Concessionaire” Registration FGU 108 Chassis Nr. See text Engine Nr. 10814381 Unique Alfa Romeo 1750 Testa Fissa with exquisitely well-proportioned and handsome Stiles Threesome’ bodywork by the leading British coachbuilder, James Young Ltd, Not only a well-known car upon the British Vintage motoring scene, it has also been in the past ownership of a leading British Vintagent’ and noted Alfa Romeo restorer for no fewer than 47 years. One Of what are understood to be only 12 original Testa Fissa – Fixed head’ – Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 Engines known to have been manufactured, three were dispatched from Italy to England to compete in the 1930 RAC Tourist Trophy race at Ards in Northern Ireland. These cars were to be driven by the three towering Italian superstar racing drivers of the period; Tazio Nuvolari, Achille Varzi and Giuseppe Campari. The cars were entrusted to the contemporary British Alfa Romeo concessionaire Mr. Stiles of Alfa Romeo British Sales Limited, and one of his mechanics – Bernard Arlidge – recalled to FGU’s previous long term owner that he drove one of these 1750s from Italy without coachwork. Stiles was the official entrant of these cars in the TT race, and he then had the regulation four-seater coachwork made for the cars, which promptly finished first, second and third – having totally dominated the great race. The Alfa Romeo factory at Il Portello, Milan, allowed Alfa Romeo British Sales Limited up to one year’s credit in providing these cars which Fred Stiles was then expected to sell into private hands. This was often done with the car being offered complete with quality sporting coachwork. The TT Alfa Romeo 1750s were powered by the 6-cylinder “Testa Fissa” engines with the cylinder head and block cast in one-piece to avoid any cylinder head sealing problems created by the combination of high temperatures resulting from the exceptional mean effective pressure and special fuels used, not to mention prolonged high-speed demand from those notoriously lead-foot works drivers, particularly Nuvolari and Campari! The Testa Fissas produced an additional 17 bhp about 20% more power compared with the Gran Sport engine. This particular car – FGU 108’ – is powered by an engine that – in part – might well have begun life as one of those high-performance 1930 TT power units. It was previously thought to have been installed in an un-numbered short-wheelbase 9-foot chassis frame that Stiles had in his stores. However, recent investigation of the chassis has revealed that it is stamped with the frame number 0332975. We can confirm that this frame number not to be confused with the chassis no. relates to being a 3rd Series Super Sport frame of 1929. It first emerged as a complete Alfa Romeo 1750 TF’ in 1938, when it was first registered in Stiles’s own name, receiving its UK road registration and its original buff logbook being issued on 24th September of that year. It would appear that Stiles did not use or even aware of the frame number as he used the engine serial number at that time to provide an acceptable chassis number’ for the completed car. It then survived the second World War and by February, 1947, was in the ownership of Michael John Palmer, of Pall Mall, London. It then passed to Stubberfield’s Garage of St Leonards-on-Sea, and on May 24th, 1950, was registered to leading pre-war racing personality Vic Derrington’s tuning business in London Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. He appears to have found an eager buyer in Squadron Leader John Kenrick Maw, of New Barnet, Hertfordshire, to whom FGU’ passed on May 26th that year. The fourth ownership change listed in this surviving continuation log book is Rowland Smith Motors Ltd of Hampstead High Street, London, in August 1959. A year later it became the property of John Howard Kettel Jefferson of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, before passing in April, 1961, to John Harold James of Sudgrove, near Stroud, Glos. Its previous long-term owner recalls how “Michael Sedgwick, the curator of the Beaulieu Motor Museum, had seen the car on a petrol station forecourt in Staveley near Chesterfield and told me about it in early 1962. “I drove there and found the car in a sorry state with its hood up
lying in the open. It had no engine. I asked to look at the car and then was told the engine was in the workshop down the street. I recognized the engine just inside the door because it had the words ALFA ROMEO cast into the block. It was in pieces and one of the mechanics showed me the split bore
The car was owned by Mr Turner, the garage proprietor, and I bought the car and broken engine for ÂŁ100
” – and thereby saved the gem we are now offering here When originally purchased by its new owner in 1962, the Testa Fissa engine’s split bore was believed to be irreparable. Alfa Romeo Testa Fissa block/head units do not have individual serial numbers and in essence can be mated to any 4th or 5th series 1750’ crankcase. When originally purchased by the present vendor in 1962, FGU’s Testa Fissa block was mounted upon a crankcase stamped with the serial number 0312917’. There is some evidence – as per the old style log book - that this was adopted by FGU’ some ten years previously. A 5th series 1750 Gran Sport engine was then acquired for ÂŁ200 from leading British Alfisti Bill Summers, and fitted into this chassis, thus enabling FGU’ to run happily in that form for some twenty years. The Gran Sport engine was serial number 10814381’. However, a chance meeting with Alfa Romeo’s celebrated former design draughtsman and subsequent marque historian Luigi Fusi resulted in the modern-day Alfa Romeo company agreeing to repair the original split block in return for allowing them to have the engine for the purpose of copying it for their company Museum, in Arese, Italy. By 1985 the original block was fully repaired and it was then used to replace that of the Gran Sport engine number’381’ in this chassis. The crankcase of engine 0312917’ originally acquired with the split block attached, was meanwhile provided to Angela Cherrett, the owner of the appropriate surviving 1930 TT and Le Mans car – Alfa Romeo 1750 and marque authority This restitution was registered with the Licensing authorities on May 2, 1966. Meanwhile, detailed research into FGU’s history resulted in a letter from the Hampshire county register of vehicles in England explaining why the car should bear this 1938 London-issued registration number. It had been assembled by Alfa Romeo concessionaire Stiles upon the Third Series Super Sport chassis, using the Testa Fissa engine and what was described as the Stiles Threesome’ body – produced by the James Young Coach building company of London Road, Bromley, Kent. It is this high quality body which has always made this such a handsomely proportioned and unusually handsome example of the marque and model. As the car’s previous owner of 47 years – automobile engineer and noted Alfa Romeo restorer David Baylis, observes “We can surmise that with the second World War approaching, Stiles had these items lying surplus in his stores, and wished to capitalize upon them
”. Fred Stiles had by that time been replaced as Alfa Romeo’s UK concessionaire by Thomson & Taylor Ltd, of Brooklands, and in effect was intent upon capitalizing as many of his remaining Alfa Romeo effects as possible. Angela Cherrett recalls being told that documentation connected with the car did state “Stiles Special Alfa Romeo built from parts” and that it was first registered in 1938. There is no record of the car in the Alfa Romeo British Sales Ltd sales records, but this is perfectly understandable since Fred Stiles plainly assembled the car in later years, and initially for his own personal use. As a summary, we have identified the following number on the motor car. Frame no. 0332975 1929 3rd Series Super Sport; Front axle no. 0161721 1929; Steering box no. 0151179 1929; Gearbox no. 8143463 16x28 ratio, 1930 4th Series; Back axle no. 8173246 11x54 ratio, 1930 4th Series; Engine no. 10814381 1931 5th Series Gran Sport; Crankcase no. 10824380 1931 5th Series Gran Sport. Mr Baylis met former Stiles mechanic Bernard Arlidge in the 1970s, and found that Arlidge remembered Fred Stiles initially using the car – then painted blue, as his regular transport to run to and from his office in Baker Street, London. Writing to the owners listed in the old buff log book which he acquired with the car, Mr Baylis subsequently received a letter from George Baker, of Stubberfield’s Garage, St Leonard’s-on-Sea, who had owned and raced the car immediately post-war. During this period he had participated with FGU’ in the inaugural Goodwood Motor Circuit race meeting on September 18, 1948. Competing in the programme’s Chichester Cup race he and FGU’, now offered here, finished sixth. Many years later, David Baylis and FGU’ would participate in no fewer than four Mille Miglia retrospective events, driving the car from England to Italy on each occasion. The car also won its first Vintage Sports Car Club race as long ago as 1967, and it has since featured in the Eifel Classic at the Nurburgring, Germany, the Nuvolari Rally at Mantua, Italy, a range of events in the Far East and also in others at such evocative British circuits as Silverstone, Oulton Park, Castle Combe, and Snetterton. The James Young Coachbuilding company had been founded in 1863 and turned its attention from horse-drawn carriages to automotive horsepower relatively late, in 1908. Into the mid-1920s the Bromley, Kent, based coachbuilder had already bodied several Alfa Romeo RL SS chassis, and it worked closely with British concessionaire Stiles. In fact James Young bodied so many of the new 6C chassis for him that the company became in effect Alfa Romeo’s official’ British-market coachbuilder. The Stiles Threesome’ body as offered here was designed by Stiles for the 1750 SS and GS chassis, and was a particularly successful combination of practicality and attractively-proportioned form. So the incredibly useable and immensely rare James Young Alfa Romeo 1750 now offered here provides the outstanding provenance of no fewer than 47 years in one ownership, plus the extra assurance and cachet of having been preserved and maintained throughout that period by an owner who is not only a lifelong Alfa Romeo enthusiast but also a specialist restorer of these cars. It was assembled originally by the well-known and thoroughly well-documented pre-war British Alfa-Romeo concessionaire “Fred Stiles” for his own personal use. It retains its original body, the only body that has ever been on this chassis. It was first UK road-registered as long ago as 1938, and the original-style buff logbook documentation offered with it confirms previous ownerships. It is a genuinely sporting car that has been well used, and equally well maintained. It is an immensely useable sports car with three-seat capacity, the supercharged Alfa Romeo cachet and charisma, and that rare Testa Fissa’ performance and power. FGU’ is, indeed, a lovely thing. The car is offered with well-presented history files that contain V5 Registration document, old style log books, and much correspondence. Also included in the sale is a copy of Baylis’s autobiography where FGU is prominently featured and illustrated. Added to this, the engine, gearbox, clutch and rear axle have all recently been fully rebuilt by Historic Competition services in Belgium to the highest standards and the car carries a full picture documentation file of all of the work done. A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a Blue Chip investment that you can enjoy as much for its looks and rarity as you can for its driving pleasure. On top of that, you will be able to enjoy an exhaust note that they surely play in automotive Heaven.

In the 1930s, Alfa Romeo still didn’t produce their own bodyworks, but they bought In the case of the 6C 1750 GS, the body came from the coach-builder Zagato. This turned out to be a good choice, because again Zagato did a great job with his distinctive design language. The four-meter-long car had two spare wheels that were stowed in a rear well. In the event of bad weather, a textile top offered emergency cover or protection against rain. A striking feature of this car was the removable red plastic covers on the three headlights, which were intended to improve the aerodynamics of the 1750 GS was powered by a 6-cylinder in-line engine that Vitorio Jano, the brilliant chief engineer of Alfa Romeo, had developed. It generated a remarkable 85 hp at 4500 rpm. Several factory race cars had their cylinder heads welded testa fissa so that they could rev up to 5000 rpm, yielding a magnificent output of 102 hp. Whether equipped with 85 or 102 hp, the Gran Sport excelled. Owing to a low total weight of 920 kg and a reduced wheelbase of 2745 mm that improved its handling dramatically, the Gran Sport became the most famous Alfa Romeo of the time. Numerous important victories all over Europe, as in the 1930 and 1931 Mille Miglia and the wet race of the Irish Tourist Trophy — to name just a few — made it the undisputed dominator of that racing era. Only the rigorous endurance race of the 24 Hours of Le Mans proved to be too much for the 6C 1750 GS.

Founded on June 24, 1910, in Milan, the Alfa Romeo Automobiles had been a part of the Fiat Group since 1986 and since February 2007 is had been part of Fiat Group Automobiles The Alfa Romeo Company has been known initially as which was an acronym for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili which in English was Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company. In 1906 the company that became Alfa Romeo was founded as Società Anonima Italiana Darracq SAID by the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq with several Italian investors. In 1909, Cavaliera Ugo Stella one of the investors became chairman of the SAID. Originally the firm's location was in Naples, but Darracq decided late in 1906 to move the factory to Milan in a suburb of Portello. The Italian Darracq cars were selling very slowly in late 1909, and Stella with other co-investors founded a new company named originally still in partnership with Darracq. In 1919 the first non-Darracq vehicle produced was the 1910 24 HP, designed by Giuseppe Merosi who was hired in 1909 to design new cars that were more suitable to the Italian market. Eventually, Merosi would design a series of new cars with even more powerful engines, from 40-60 HP. even ventured into motor racing with drivers Franchini and Ronzoni competing in the 1911 Targa Floria with two 24 HP models. Three years later an advanced Grand Prix car was designed and constructed, the GP1914 featured a four-cylinder, double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and twin ignition. Unfortunately, the onset of WWI halted automobile production at for three years. Utilized on road, race, and sports cars constructed between 1925 and1954 was the Alfa Romeo 6C name. The designation 6C refers to a straight 6 engine. Coachbuilders like Zagato, Touring Castagna, Pininfarina, and James Young constructed these bodies. From 1933 there was also a 6C version with a factory Alfa body built in Portello. Alfa's RL was considered by many to be too cumbersome and heavy in the mid-1920's so a new development began. For the 1926 season, the 2-liter formula that had lead to Alfa Romeo winning the World Championship in 1925 was updated to 1,5 liter. In 1925 the 6C1500 was introduced at Milan and production began in 1927 with the P2 Grand Prix car as a starting point. The engine capacity was now at 1487 cc, compared to the P2's 1987 cc, while the supercharging was dropped. The initial versions were bodied by Young and Touring. A 6C Sport was introduced in 1928 with a dual overhead camshaft engine. The sports version was numerous racing, including the 1928 Mille Miglia. With the 200 with DOHC engine, the total production was 2000. Ten versions of a supercharged Super Sport variant were also made. In 1929 a much more powerful 6C 1750cc was introduced in 1929 in Rome. The base model had a single overhead cam; Super Sport and Gran Sport versions had DOHC. A supercharger was also available. The total production was 369 units. In 1933 the final derivative of the original 1500 version of the 6C 1900 with a 1917 cc engine was introduced, with an aluminum head for the first time. This version could achieve top speed of 130 kilometers per hour with 68 brake horsepower. Incredibly rare, this 1900 version was produced in only 197 copies before it was replaced by 6C 2300. A less expensive alternative to the 8C, the 6C 2300 was designed by Vittorio Jano from 1934 until 1937. The 6C 2500 was introduced in 1938 until 1952 and it was the final 6C road car. WWII disrupted car development, but a few hundred 6C 2500's were constructed from 1940 until 1945. Following the war, the first new Alfa model was the 1946 6C 2500 Freccia d'Oro. A total of 680 units were built through 1950, and the body done by Alfa. The 'Golden Arrow' was sold to affluent customers like King Farouk, Rita Hayworth, Prince Rainier, Ali Khan, and Tyrone Power. In 1949 the 6C 2500 Villa d'Este was introduced and was produced until 1952. It was named for the Concorso d'Eleganza held in villa d'Este, a Touring Superleggera-bodied version was awarded the prize. The Villa d'Este was Alfa's final hand built model and only 36 examples were made. The final 6C was produced in 1952 and was replaced by the 1900. The 6C 2500 was introduced in 1952 and was one of five long wheelbase automobiles produced by Touring of Italy. In 1950 a 6C 3000 prototype was constructed and was basically a 2500 with a 3L engine. This prototype didn't appear until 1952, as the Competizione Maggiorata, which was built for racing, with a engine, in four coupe and two spider versions. The 6C 3000 was produced from 1950 until 1954. A coachbuilder from Milan, the body was shaped by Carrozzeria Colli with some of the style reminiscent of the 1900 DiscoVolante. The propulsion system of this particular model came from a project by Giuseppe Busso. This model differed from its ancestor yet it still utilized various components of the 3-liters-volume/6-cylinders system from the 6C 3000 prototype. The engine capacity was increased to 3495 cc. Following several updates, the power was increased to 275 Jessica Donaldson

Contrairement Ă  sa petite soeur, cette derniĂšre est Ă©quipĂ©e d'un compresseur montĂ© directement en bout de vilebrequin ce qui lui permet d'atteindre les 85 chevaux et les 145km/h en vitesse de pointe. La plupart des modĂšles de la Gran Sport seront des spider bi-places, carrossĂ©s par Zagato qui sont aujourd'hui mythiques. Une version "ultime" de la Gran Sport est Ă©galement produite Ă  6 exemplaires. Il s'agit de la version "Testa Fissa" la culasse et le bloc ne forment qu'un seul ensemble et la puissance atteint alors 102 chevaux. Articles 6C1750-Gran-Sport DETAILS Engine Front, longitudinal, vertical straight-six, block and fixed head in cast iron, two valves per cylinder, twin overhead camshafts, layshaft and bevel gear drive. Single twinchoke carburettor, supercharger, distributor ignition, wet sump lubrication. Engine Displacement 1752 cc (65x88 mm) Power and Torque The origins of the legendary 6C 1750 model can be traced to 1923, when Nicola Romeo hired the legendary engineer Vittorio Jano from rival Fiat to design a successful Grand Prix car. Less than a year later, Jano unveiled the P2 – generally regarded as the first modern Grand Prix car. It was an immediate success, claiming the first manufacturer’s championship for Alfa Romeo in 1925. Following this, Jano’s next task was to design a production chassis with great sporting potential. The result was a series of six-cylinder 6C cars built in various specifications. The rarest and most desirable were the short-chassis Super Sport and 1750 Gran Sport, featuring straight-six engines with dual overhead camshafts, hemispherical combustion chambers, and Roots-type superchargers. Lightweight, with excellent roadholding qualities and reliable power, the 6Cs were among the greatest high-performance automobiles of their day. They often challenged Bugattis and Maseratis of greater displacement and proved victorious. The 6C 1750s won nearly every major sports car race of the day, including the Mille Miglia, 24 Hours of Spa, and Brooklands Double Twelve. According to marque expert CristiĂĄn Bertschi’s report on file, this extraordinary 6C 1750, one of the finest examples in existence, and was issued its Certificato d’Origine on March 18, 1931, making it likely just the 11th of the Series V cars built. The Alfa Romeo was sold new on March 20th to privateer racer Sergio Rusca of Milan, who already owned a 6C 1750 Series IV, so his purchase was likely fueled by a desire to have a brand-new car for racing. He and co-driver Giovanni Minozzi entered the 1931 Mille Miglia, and a photo published in a contemporary magazine shows the 6C 1750 in a dark color with race no. 151. They finished an impressive 13th Overall, an outstanding result for a privateer team, behind the great Rudolf Caracciola and Giuseppe Campari and not far behind Tazio Nuvolari, who came in 9th. Twelve of the top 15 finishers were driving Alfa Romeos, and 10 of those were 6C 1750s. Rusca then entered the Alfa Romeo in a race at the Circuito Tre Province in September and again finished well, placing 3rd Overall. In October 1931, the Alfa Romeo was sold to fellow racer Giovanni Restelli of Como, Italy, and he and co-driver Pieri finished 17th Overall at the 1932 Mille Miglia. Restelli then finished 1st Overall at the Bellagio Guello in June, and 4th in Class that July at the Gaisbergrennen in Austria. The Alfa Romeo was then traded among several Italian owners before coming into the possession of Giacomina Vonwiller of Austria in 1935. The Alfa Romeo remained in Austria until around 1966, when it was purchased by pioneering collector and restorer Bill Pollock of Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Pollock was a highly regarded connoisseur whose cars ranged from the finest pre-1900 Peugeots, to chain-driven Chadwicks, Bugattis, Mercedes-Benz, and Alfa Romeos, including this special 6C 1750. He displayed the Alfa Romeo in his museum, the Pollock Auto Showcase, until it was sold to renowned collector John Mozart of Palo Alto, California, in 1983. It remained in Mozart’s famed collection for four years and photos on file show Phil Hill sitting in the car at the Monterey Historics. Prized for its preservation and originality, the Alfa Romeo was subsequently owned by the finest West Coast collectors, including Tom Price and Tom Armstrong. The current owner, a collector of the world’s greatest cars and motorcycles, purchased the 6C 1750 through Mark Leonard of Grand Prix Classics in 2003. The Alfa Romeo was immediately sent to Ivan Zaremba at Phil Reilly & Company, who had already been taking care of the car for some years. Zaremba overhauled the car’s engine and replaced its Series VI gearbox with a correct Series V case. The consignor and his father then brought the Alfa Romeo to the Mille Miglia Storica in 2005, and he was invited back in 2008 as part of the official Squadra Alfa Romeo Automobilismo Storico. A testament to the high regard for this example, the team only featured two other cars, both owned by the Alfa Romeo Museum. The consignor finished the event in an impressive 5th Overall. Next, the consignor won the 1000 Millas Sport in Patagonia, Argentina, in 2005, 2008, and 2015, garnering podium positions in other years. These results are testament to the car’s expert preparation by Phil Reilly & Company, which has restored some of the finest six- and eight-cylinder Alfa Romeos, and the consignor’s driving skill and mechanical diligence. In 2016, the consignor returned the Alfa Romeo to Phil Reilly & Company for a body-off cosmetic restoration. The process was closely followed by the consignor and his advisor, noted historian and Alfa Romeo expert CristiĂĄn Bertschi, who documented it with extensive photos. During the disassembly process, the car was taken down to its bare chassis and, according to photographs on file, the original Zagato job no. 913 was found in several places, including trim pieces, where the number was still written in pencil. The numbers were also found on the wooden structure, the doors, and windshield post. Numbers were also found on the hood hinges and each number found on the car was recorded and photographed. The consignor and Zaremba determined during this process that in addition to its original chassis, the car’s body was also highly original, and they believed only the fenders and running boards had been replaced. A 3D fender scan was then taken from chassis 10814356, one of the most original 6C 1750s and a car known to have its original fenders. The Alfa Romeo was sent to the renowned Moal Coachbuilders in Oakland, California, and the scan, among other information, was used to make highly correct fenders and running boards. Since its cosmetic restoration, the Alfa Romeo has been used sparingly and maintained within the consignor’s impressive collection. It is accompanied by two extensive documents by CristiĂĄn Bertschi, restoration photographs, records, copies of Mille Miglia documents, and period photos. This wonderful 6C 1750 is highly regarded by many experts for its rare combination of numerous desirable traits. First, it is extremely rare to find a 6C 1750 with such a known, documented history. It is also a sought-after Series V version of the 6C 1750, a model that dominated racing in the early 1930s and was even more successful in this period than the 8C. This Alfa Romeo also finished the legendary Mille Miglia twice and has a known ownership history in the hands of highly respected collectors. Moreover, for the last 30 years, it has been properly cared-for and restored by one of the world’s greatest 6C 1750 experts. These factors, combined with the numerous original Zagato markings and other hallmarks of originality found on the car, elevate it to the very upper echelon of surviving examples. Gooding & Company has known this exceptional Alfa Romeo for many years and is pleased to recommend this offering to the most discerning collector. car

Nous avons le vent en poupe cette année encore ! En effet nous remarquons avec émerveillement que la presqu’île de Saint-Jean- Cap-Ferrat est en train de devenir un lieu de rencontre mythique des plus belles voitures au monde et de leurs propriétaires. Pour la deuxième édition du concours en automobile Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat Légendes, l’un des plus grands collectionneurs, Corrado Lopresto, nous enchantera de sa présence. Mr Lopresto, architecte et entrepreneur, possède une collection de voitures rares, aux carrosseries les plus uniques et au charme ravageur. Ce passionné s’est entiché depuis des années de ces demoiselles mécaniques et recherche aujourd’hui des perles rares et originelles, qui partage souvent ce point commun, le numéro de châssis n°0001. Sa collection a déjà été primé plus de 200 fois avec 50 Best Of Show. Et les 25, 26 et 27 septembre 2015, il sera au bras d’une voiture exceptionnelle la charmante Alfa Romeo 6C Gran Sport 1750 de 1931 carrossée par Zagato et Aprile.
Toutcomme la Gran Turismo, l'Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport apparaĂźt en 1930. Contrairement Ă  sa petite soeur, cette derniĂšre est Ă©quipĂ©e d'un compresseur montĂ© directement en bout de vilebrequin ce qui lui permet d'atteindre les 85 chevaux et les 145km/h en vitesse de pointe. Dans les annĂ©es 1930, le 6C 1750 possĂ©dait la capacitĂ© unique de gagner des courses et des prix de design Avec un rapport poids / puissance exceptionnel et un Ă©quilibre parfait, le 6C 1750 a inaugurĂ© des traditions techniques qui se poursuivent aujourd'hui L’homme volant de Mantoue 13 avril 1930. Juste aprĂšs 5 heures du matin, les ombres silencieuses au bord du lac de Garde sont secouĂ©es par le grondement d'une araignĂ©e Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport roulant Ă  150 kilomĂštres Ă  l'heure avec ses phares Ă©teints. Au volant, se trouve Tazio Nuvolari, de Mantoue, surnommĂ© Nivola». À cĂŽtĂ© de lui, Gian Battista Guidotti, chef pilote d'essai d'Alfa Romeo Ă  l'usine de Portello. C’est un moment clĂ© d’une course mythique des Mille Miglia. Achille Varzi est le leader de la course et le vainqueur prĂ©sumĂ©. Cependant, quelques kilomĂštres avant le lac, Ă  VĂ©rone, Nuvolari et Guidotti avaient eu une idĂ©e incroyable Ă©teindre leurs phares. Leur seul espoir de battre leur rival Ă©tait de le prendre par surprise. L'aube approchait. AprĂšs le lac, la campagne paisible mĂšnerait Ă  la ligne d'arrivĂ©e Ă  Brescia. C'est ici que Varzi et son deuxiĂšme pilote Canavesi ont dĂ©tectĂ© l'Ă©cho d'un autre moteur. Trop tard... Avant de rĂ©aliser ce qui se passait, ils avaient Ă©tĂ© dĂ©passĂ©s par une voiture identique Ă  la leur. Nuvolari a gagnĂ©. Sa vitesse moyenne Ă©tait de 100,45 km / h. C'Ă©tait la premiĂšre fois que la barriĂšre de vitesse moyenne Ă  100 km / h Ă©tait brisĂ©e dans cette course lĂ©gendaire... Un record qui a fait la une de toute l'Europe. Dix minutes plus tard, un Varzi stupĂ©fait arrivait deuxiĂšme. Giuseppe Campari termina Ă  la troisiĂšme place, suivi de Pietro Ghersi. DiffĂ©rents types de pilotes ayant un point commun ils Ă©taient tous sur le mĂȘme modĂšle, le 6C 1750. Et ils n'Ă©taient pas les seuls. Dans l'heure et demie suivante, d'autres modĂšles 6C sont arrivĂ©s... Au total, huit des onze premiers roulaient Ă  bord de cette voiture. Une suprĂ©matie absolue, qui devait se rĂ©pĂ©ter cette annĂ©e-lĂ  avec les trois premiĂšres places aux 24 heures de Spa en Belgique et au Belfast Tourist Trophy. La 6C 1750 Ă©tait tout simplement la voiture ainsi la plus rapide de son Ă©poque. La famille 6C Vittorio Jano avait pris en charge tout le dĂ©veloppement des produits Alfa Romeo en 1926, et la 6C Ă©tait sa premiĂšre crĂ©ation. Sa tĂąche Ă©tait d'inventer une voiture lĂ©gĂšre et brillamment performante» qui gagnerait des courses et des admirateurs, mais conquerrait Ă©galement de nouveaux marchĂ©s. La 6C combinait simplicitĂ© conceptuelle et ingĂ©nierie sophistiquĂ©e... Les vertus typiques des crĂ©ations de Jano. Cependant, elle offrait Ă©galement une chose qui allait devenir une spĂ©cialitĂ© d'Alfa Romeo une puissance spĂ©cifique extrĂȘmement Ă©levĂ©e. Jano avait une capacitĂ© Ă©tonnante Ă  extraire une puissance Ă©levĂ©e de petits moteurs, ce que nous appellerions aujourd'hui le downsizing concevoir des moteurs avec une cylindrĂ©e comprise entre 1 litre - par exemple pour les voitures utilitaires - et les 2 ou 3 litres de modĂšles de luxe. MĂȘme Ă  l'Ă©poque, Alfa Romeo offrait le meilleur rapport poids / puissance... Et Ă©tait donc le plus rapide. Innovation technologique Ce gĂ©nie technique a prĂ©sidĂ© Ă  la naissance de voitures lĂ©gendaires. Merosi avait auparavant dĂ©veloppĂ© des moteurs trĂšs originaux pour le GP de 1914 bloquĂ©s par le dĂ©clenchement de la guerre, qui ont continuĂ© Ă  dominer la future conception du moteur Alfa Romeo deux arbres Ă  cames en tĂȘte, quatre soupapes par cylindre et double allumage. La 6C 1900 GT et plus tard la 6C 2300 et la 6C 2500 a introduit d'autres innovations une suspension Ă  roues indĂ©pendantes et un nouveau chĂąssis avec des composants soudĂ©s au lieu de rivetĂ©s, afin de renforcer la rigiditĂ©. Les performances routiĂšres des modĂšles Alfa Romeo devenaient ainsi un Ă©lĂ©ment clĂ© de l’ADN de la marque. La 6C 1750 On pourrait dire que la 6C 1750, prĂ©sentĂ©e en janvier 1929 au Salon de l’automobile de Rome, exprimait la pleine maturitĂ© de la formule 6C. Le moteur Ă©tait une Ă©volution du prĂ©cĂ©dent moteur en ligne Ă  six cylindres de 1500. Il a Ă©tĂ© produit en diffĂ©rentes versions - mono et double arbre, avec et sans compresseur volumĂ©trique.. Et sa puissance variait des 46 CV sur la version Turismo aux 102 CV de la Gran Sport "Fixed Head". Cette derniĂšre Ă©tait une "version spĂ©ciale", trĂšs peu produite la culasse et le carter Ă©taient coulĂ©s en un seul bloc afin d'Ă©liminer les joints et le risque de les brĂ»ler, le poids n'Ă©tait que de 840 kg et la vitesse de pointe Ă©tait de 170 km / h. Le moteur n'est pas le seul facteur qui a fait de la 6C 1750 un sommet de l'innovation automobile. Elle utilisait un systĂšme de freinage mĂ©canique, avec de grands tambours actionnĂ©s par un systĂšme de transmission. Son cadre en acier embouti Ă©tait parfaitement Ă©quilibrĂ© et d'une rigiditĂ© exceptionnelle, avec des essieux renforcĂ©s. Les ressorts Ă  lames ont Ă©tĂ© montĂ©s Ă  l'extĂ©rieur de la carrosserie de la voiture plutĂŽt que sous les longerons, et le centre de gravitĂ© plus bas a considĂ©rablement amĂ©liorĂ© l'adhĂ©rence dans les virages. Le rĂ©servoir de carburant a Ă©tĂ© placĂ© plus en arriĂšre, afin d'obtenir un plus grand poids sur les roues arriĂšre et d'amĂ©liorer l'Ă©quilibre des essieux. ConformĂ©ment Ă  la philosophie de la marque, toutes les solutions innovantes ont Ă©tĂ© appliquĂ©es simultanĂ©ment aux voitures de course et aux voitures de route. Plus elle gagnait de courses, plus la rĂ©putation technique impressionnante de la 6C augmentait. DĂšs son lancement, la 6C 1750 a immĂ©diatement enregistrĂ© une croissance notable de ses ventes. Entre 1929 et 1933, 2 579 modĂšles ont quittĂ© l'usine de Portello pour la vente en Italie mais aussi Ă  l'Ă©tranger notamment en Grande-Bretagne et dans le Commonwealth. Un rĂ©sultat exceptionnel, surtout si l'on considĂšre le statut de la voiture comme un produit rĂ©solument d'Ă©lite. En Italie, par exemple, elle coĂ»tait entre 40 000 et 60 000 lires, soit environ sept ans de salaire moyen. L’ùre de la carrosserie La 6C Ă©tait ultra-rapide mais aussi magnifique. Son succĂšs doit beaucoup aux carrossiers qui ont créé ses carrosseries des maĂźtres artisans capables d'unir les mĂ©tiers de sellier, carrossier, peintre et tapissier des crĂ©ateurs et stylistes artistiques qui ont marquĂ© l’époque de leur empreinte. Jusqu'aux annĂ©es 1930, il Ă©tait normal que les chĂąssis nus quittent les usines de production, Ă©quipĂ©s uniquement de moteur, boĂźte de vitesses et suspensions. Le client achetait la voiture, puis demandait Ă  un carrossier de crĂ©er un design sur mesure pratiquement unique. Le premier dĂ©partement de style Ă  l'intĂ©rieur de l'usine de Portello n'a pas vu le jour avant 1933. Il a coexistĂ© initialement avec le systĂšme prĂ©cĂ©dent de vente des chĂąssis directement aux clients et aux carrossiers. La 6C 1750 offrait des opportunitĂ©s exceptionnelles pour les finitions raffinĂ©es de carrossiers. L'extraordinaire base mĂ©canique et d'ingĂ©nierie d'Alfa Romeo s'est prĂȘtĂ©e Ă  la crĂ©ation de certaines des carrosseries les plus Ă©lĂ©gantes jamais construites, celles-ci Ă©tant conçues par les meilleurs stylistes et achetĂ©es par les plus cĂ©lĂšbres VIP. La 6C 1750 GS Touring Flying Star » La Flying Star» a Ă©tĂ© conçue pour ĂȘtre aussi irrĂ©sistible que sa propriĂ©taire Josette Pozzo, une femme millionnaire, mannequin et cĂ©lĂ©britĂ© mondaine. Il a Ă©tĂ© conçu spĂ©cialement pour participer au Concours d’élĂ©gance de la Villa d’Este en 1931, et fut construit par la Carrozzeria Touring de Felice Bianchi Anderloni. L'araignĂ©e 6C 1750 est une crĂ©ation unique un bijou d'originalitĂ©, d'Ă©lĂ©gance et de soin du dĂ©tail. Elle Ă©tait entiĂšrement blanche, y compris le dessous de caisse, les rayons de roue, le volant et la sellerie, la seule exception Ă©tant son tableau de bord noir. La Touring a dotĂ© la 1750 de nouvelles proportions, en lui ajoutant une sĂ©rie de dĂ©tails esthĂ©tiques art nouveau » Ă©lĂ©gants, telles que les marches avant et arriĂšre suspendues qui s'Ă©tendent des passages de roues et traversent sous les portes sans se toucher. Le rĂ©sultat? Lors du prestigieux concours de la Villa d’Este, la 6C 1750 GS Touring remportait la Gold Cup de la plus belle voiture. Et Josette elle-mĂȘme, sa propriĂ©taire, l’a conduite pour recevoir le prix, vĂȘtue de façon magnifique dans une tenue blanche assortie. Bruxelles, le 28 avril 2020 zZbmovA.
