1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
A right-hand-drive Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint, one of only 596 such examples produced, manufactured in June 1964 and delivered to Alfa Romeo London before being first registered in England in January 1965 as AUB 300C. The car has passed through relatively few hands over its six decades, with notable ownership by an Alfa Romeo Club Secretary from Norfolk who commissioned a restoration in the early 2000s. Weber carburettors were fitted in 2010 and the bodywork has been resprayed in period-correct heritage grey verified against Alfa Romeo Museum Archives.
