This 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS ‘Super Sport' Two Seater wears coachwork by Touring. It is a 3rd Series 1750 SS that spent over a half-of-century in the Southern Hemisphere where it resided in South Africa in the care of enthusiast Hugh Gearing. It early years included competition in Italy and South Africa.

In the late 1930s, it was sold to a U.K. resident and received the coachwork that it wears today.

In the post-War era, the car was purchased by Hugh Gearing. Gearing continued its racing career, and on one occasion, it was loaned to Juan Manual Fangio to drive at a South African event.

The car has fully valanced front fenders and opening hood vents. Many of the mechanical components are original. The supercharger, however, has been replaced with another correct early version.
