1948 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS (Touring Superleggera coachwork)
Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS chassis 915.697, bodied by Touring Superleggera in original aluminium coachwork, was completed in November 1948 and delivered to Argentina's Minister of Industry and Trade. After passing through several Argentine owners it was brought to Italy in 1988, where a comprehensive restoration was completed in Padua between 2004 and 2006. The car has since proven itself a consistent concours contender, taking class honours at Schloss Dyck in 2016 and Best of Show at the Zoute Concours d'Elegance in 2018.
