Few cars in history symbolize speed, style, and success like the 6C 1750 Grand Sport. Designed by Vittorio Jano, the 1929 1750 evolution of the model achieves the perfect balance between power and drivability. It is no surprise that, in its launch year, every race entered by a 1750 GS is won by the model. These include Grands Prix in Belgium, Ireland, Spain, Tunisia, and Italy (Rome and Monza), as well as the 24 Hours of Brooklands and the Tourist Trophy. Built in April 1931, with a Spider body by Zagato.
Initially registered to Alfa Romeo, it is then sold to official driver Giuseppe Campari, who, before the year is out, sells it to Mario Vanoni of Portoferraio, on the island of Elba. The car survives the war and, in 1949, is brought to Berlin by a British diplomat. There, in 1960, it is purchased by a US Army captain and taken to the United States. Returning to Europe in 1987, it is acquired by a Swiss enthusiast, and subsequently restored by Dino Cognolato and Francesco Bonfanti.
Today, it is part of an important British collection.
