A Great Car for Competition, Then and Now
In 1929, the legendary Alfa Romeo engineer, Vittorio Jano, designed a supercharged, six-cylinder, sports racing car engine of 1750cc. The Sports models would use a light frame with this powerful 100 horsepower engine, creating a car of truly exceptional capabilities. It was common practice for Alfa Romeo to sell only the chassis, with a coachbuilder adding a body. Zagato and Touring provided the majority for Alfa. Zagato bodies were favored for racing as the Superleggera principle of applying aluminum body panels over a steel framework which saved weight, improving the performance. Of the 2,259 1750's built, only 257 were Gran Sports. Many great racing drivers successfully raced these cars, including Campari, Varzi, Nuvolari and Zehender.

It was common practice for Alfa Romeo to sell only the chassis, with a coachbuilder adding a body. Zagato and Touring provided the majority for Alfa. Zagato bodies were favored for racing because the coachbuilder utilized the Superleggera principle for applying aluminum body panels over a steel framework. This saved substantial weight, improving the performance.

The definitive form of the 1750 was the Gran Sport, and this model was instrumental in making Alfa a dominant marque in 1930's racing, especially at LeMans and the legendary Mille Miglia. This car is from the fifth of six series. Of the 2,259 1750's, only 257 were Gran Sports. Many great racing drivers successfully campaigned these cars, including Campari, Varzi, Nuvolari and Zehender.

This Gran Sport has finished the 1000 Mile Colorado Grand twice, was the oldest car to finish in the 2004 California Mille Miglia, and was most recently entered, with its female driver/navigator team, in the 2007 1000-mile Huron Mille Miglia.

Great for competition 'Then and Now', this Gran Sport is regularly raced by its female owner.
