Chassis 0211492 is a late second-series Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Sport, powered by Vittorio Jano's twin-cam engine producing 54 horsepower and wearing an unusual Weymann-type body of uncertain origin bearing similarities to the work of English coachbuilder James Young. Delivered new to the United Kingdom and registered 'KP 7591', it spent over five decades there before moving to Italy in 1980. The car retains its original chassis, engine, gearbox, and steering box, with a bonnet number that corresponds to factory documentation.
