A 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS with bespoke Touring coupé coachwork, this car represents the pinnacle of the model range, featuring a triple-carbureted 110 bhp inline six. Originally delivered to Lombard grain merchant Silvio Carlo Tricerri, the car passed through several American owners before receiving a concours-quality restoration with bodywork by Brian Hoyt and a custom leather interior.
