The Autocar
July 11th 1947
Its Portello factory devastated by wartime bombing
Alfa Romeo did not resume car production until 1946 with
inevitably
a pre-war carry-over
the 6C 2500 in a variety of new guises forming the basis of the Milanese marque's post-war recovery. Destined to be the last of the separate-chassis Alfas
the 2500 had debuted in 1939 and was a development of the preceding 2300. Styled in-house but strongly influenced by Touring
the five-seater Freccia d'Oro (Golden Arrow) sports saloon was built alongside coupe and cabriolet versions featuring bodies by the likes of Pinin Farina
Touring and Ghia
plus a six/seven-seater berlina on a longer wheelbase
The Alfa tradition of building driver's cars par excellence was upheld by the 2500
for although the box-section chassis was no longer state-of-the-art it boasted all-independent suspension
generously-sized brakes
fast-geared steering and an unusually slick column-mounted gearchange. The engine was
of course
the latest version of Alfa's race-developed double-overhead-camshaft 'six'
its 2,443cc displacement having been arrived at by enlarging the bore of the 2300. Maximum power ranged from 90bhp in single-carburettor Sport guise to 105bhp in the triple-carburettor Super Sport. Considerably lighter than the saloon
the latter could easily exceed 100mph. The short-wheelbase Super Sport (SS) chassis was manufactured until 1951
by which time 383 had been produced. Most of these bespoke
hand-built cars were bodied as Superleggera coupés by Touring
while the remainder received cabriolet coachwork by Pinin Farina
This Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS carries two-seater cabriolet coachwork by Carrozzeria Pinin Farina. The late 1940s was a period of exceptional creativity for Pinin Farina
the 6C 2500 chassis
especially the Super Sport version
allowing the Italian maestro the freedom to experiment with new lines and design solutions. Indeed
a 6C 2500 SS with similar coachwork to that of this car achieved a 1st place award at the Villa d'Este concours in 1949
Chassis number '915.756' left the factory on 16th March 1949 and was dispatched on 10th October as a completed car (with body) to Società per il Commercio Prodotti Alfa Romeo in Lugano
Switzerland where it was first registered in 1950. Its origins are confirmed by Angelo Anselmi's book Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 and Morlacchi and Salvetti's Alfa Romeo 6C 2300-2500. Completely restored between 1990 and 2010
