1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Roadster

  • Coachwork by Touring
  • Chassis Number: AR192802
  • Engine Number: AR00601*06445
Alfa Romeo's outgoing 2000 Series was given a larger six-cylinder engine which resulted in the 2600 Series. The new twin-cam, 2.6-liter engine was fitted into an improved chassis and was clothed in a variety of body styles by Touring, Bertone, and Zagato. Approximately 2,255 Touring-bodied 2600 Spiders were built through 1965.

This particular example is a Spider that was completed on March 18th of 1964 and left the factory finished in red. A month later, it was sent to Alfa Romeo's Newark, New Jersey-based importer and into the care of its first unknown owner. It is believed to have moved to California by 1967.

By 1972, the car was in the care of Dr. Raymond Giraud of Stanford University. It remained with Dr. Giraud for 34 years. After his passing in 2006, the car was offered for sale by his estate.

The car's next owner was Hervé Labesse of nearby Benicia, California. It was given a five-year restoration which included a complete rebuild of the engine, transmission, and chassis. The exterior was refinished in the factory color of Grigio Medio (Medium Gray).

After the restoration, the car was shown at Concorso Italiano in August 2013, where the2600 Spider tallied a score of 100.6 points at the Concorso d'Alfa California, winning a Certificate d'Oro Award.

This Alfa Romeo has Borrani wire wheels, a factory hardtop, original owner's manuals, tool kit, a five-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, and an inline 6-cylinder engine.
