1942 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Spyder

Alfa Romeo introduced the model 6C 2500 at the end of the 1930's. The name referenced the number of cylinders and displacement of the engine, which was the handiwork of Vittorio Jano. The 6C was available in the plethora of body styles, and wheelbases and most were delivered with custom coachwork. The coachwork was supplied by companies such as Touring of Italy or Pinin Farina.

This 1942 Alfa Rome 6C 2500 SS Spider is chassis no. 915.515 with engine no. S923907. Characterized by historian Griffith Borgeson as a 'bridge to post-World War II production' with superior performance achieved by increased compression and triple-carburetion.

This car was purchased in Italy in the 1980's by a New York car collector who entered the car in the 1987 Millie Miglia. One of thee earlier-style 8C 2900 bodies commissioned by Corrado Cupellini, this SS Spider was restored in its entirety from 1994 through 1997.
