1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Occasional Coupe

This Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 was registered in January 1931, with the license plate GN 597, which remains on the car today. The 6C 1750 GT was quite the sports car - delivering 55 horsepower and a top speed of nearly 80 mph. This is one of only three such cars bodied by James Young, and it was built on a lowered chassis, characterized by large doors to create a low, streamlined profile. The original factory two-tone paint combination on this example is unique; it has a grey body, except the fenders, lower flanks, hood, trunk and upper doors are all painted a rich complementary red. In 1930, the first owner of this car was C.F. Malfatti, domiciled at the English Pirelli factory, in Burton-on-Trent, England. The Alfa remained in England until 2010, when it went into the collection of Italian automobile historian Maurizio Tabucchi, and then in 2015 was acquired from Tabucchi's widow by its current caretaker who resides in the Republic of San Marino.
