Alfa Romeo 6C 2500
Alfa Romeo was one of the few European manufacturers
to maintain some level of production throughout the War, helping cement their
status a purveyors of powerful and extremely pretty cars, which made no
compromise in pursuit of style and speed.
The 6C 2500 is the absolute essence of that spirit,
sold in various trims and states of tune with a 2.5-litre power plant. This is the 1948 6C Competizione, which was capable of reaching
top speeds of up to 200 km/h thanks to 145 bhp from its triple-carb iteration of
the in-line 6.
Even just looking at pictures of the 6C, you get the
sense that it simply oozes Italian charm. It’s got the typical Alfa
quad-headlamps and the sort of sleek lines that only look at home in the car
park of an Italian casino, keys handed to its owner by the valet before tearing
its way up an alpine pass.
