1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport by Zagato



The 6C won fame in numerous races for its powerful super-charged, six-cylinder, 1750cm³ DOHC engine. It must be one of the greatest creations of automobile designer Vittorio Jano. It has an extensive track record. Prominent among its many victories was the prestigious Mille Miglia road race in 1930. The car, driven by Tazio Nuvolari, won a spectacular win at an average speed of more than 62 mph (100km/h).
