    Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 1938-1952

    Alfa Romeo 6C 2500


    Introduced in 1938, the 2500 (2443 cc) was the last 6C road car. World War II was coming and car development was stopped, but a few hundred 6C 2500s were built from 1940-1945. Postwar, the first new Alfa model was the 1946 6C 2500 Freccia d'Oro (Golden Arrow), of which 680 were built through 1951, with bodies by Alfa. The 2500 had enlarged engine compared to the predecessor model, this Vittorio Jano designed double overhead cam engine was available either one or three Weber carburetos. The triple carburetor version was used in the top of line SS (Super Sport) version. The 2443 cc engine was mounted to steel steel ladder frame chassis, which was offered with three wheelbase lengths: 3,250 mm (128.0 in) on the Turismo, 3,000 mm (118.1 in) on the Sport and 2,700 mm (106.3 in) on the Super Sport. Various coachbuilders made their own versions of the 2500, but most of the bodyworks was made by Touring of Milan.

    The Tipo 256 was a racing version of 2500 made eight copies between 1939-1940 for Mille Miglia and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[10] It was made as Spider (convertible) and Berlinetta (coupe) Touring bodystyles. With power of 125 bhp (93 kW) it could achieve top speed of 200 kilometres per hour (120 mph).

    According to Anselmi's 6C 2500 book thats a 1943 6C 2500 Sport Pinin Farina Cabriolet, one of only 4-6 having been built and apart from that same photo i've not been able to trace any other quality photos or further info.

    I did however find this barn find but the photos aren't for the hide-out.
