1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport Villa d'Este Cabriolet

Texan millionaire, heir to grocery and real estate wealth, residing mainly in Hollywood as a film producer. Took tourist delivery registration from the factory shortly after the car was completed in April 1952.

National City, California owner who kept the car in running condition until mid-1979, then left it in a partially restored state on his property until 1987.

Alfa Romeo enthusiast from Escondido, California who recovered the car and undertook extensive mechanical work. Commissioned a full restoration and researched the car's history, corresponding with marque specialists and the original coachbuilder's designer.

Lake Forest, Illinois owner who redirected the restoration to factory-correct colors and had it completed to a high standard by restorer Eric Roseneau. Exhibited the car at several concours events during his tenure.

Current owner who has kept the car in carefully maintained, rarely exhibited condition since acquiring it.

Notable Southern California architect who reportedly owned the car for a period before financial difficulties struck him in 1962.

The Villa d'Este body style was named after this win; the winning entry was the Touring Superleggera design on the 6C 2500 platform, not necessarily this specific chassis.

First public appearance after restoration was completed by Eric Roseneau; the car claimed the two top honors at the event.

Exhibited by Bruce Robertson during his ownership period; specific year and result not stated.

Following rescue from prolonged storage, David Skora carried out extensive work documented by a substantial collection of invoices to bring the car back to a roadworthy condition.

At acquisition the car had accumulated multiple repaints since 1952 but retained much of its original blue interior and original Borrani wire wheels.

Full restoration originally commissioned by Skora was redirected and completed under Robertson's ownership to the factory-original grey exterior and blue interior specification, finished to a high concours standard.

Skora had originally planned a black exterior with red interior; Robertson's acquisition ensured reversion to correct factory colours.

Restoration work concluded and the car was presented publicly for the first time in its completed state.

Completion date inferred from the car's debut appearance at the 2003 Detroit Concorso d'Italia immediately after leaving Roseneau's care.
