Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Ghia
Chassis
This Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Cabriolet designed by Mario Boano was built in a small series of 4 speciments by Carrozzeria Ghia. One of the most quaint bodies was designed by Mario Felice Boano who was by that time working for Ghia. Designs like the extraordinary Volkswagen Karmann Ghia and the beautiful Lancia Aurelia GT are also from his hands even as this very impressive Alfa 6C. The first impression of the front of this Alfa is food for thought, as even educated guesses may not tell that this car is an Alfa Romeo. The design of this amazing car is very distinctive. The handmade glass headlight covers are impressively well integrated into the shape of the aluminium body even as the underlining details on the body. A characteristic Alfa Romeo radiator grille lacks; the small air intake openings give this model, -barely post war-, a modern look. The “trafficators” in the side screens betray its age. The bumpers are beautifully integrated in the design of the car, which is a very good reason not to use it as an actual bumper. There are even no rubbers between the bumper and the body which gives you an idea how impressively well this car has been designed as well as restored. The side of the car shows the beautiful forties lines of a large luxury car – the most expensive car for sale in Italy at that moment.
Vehicle Overview
Small letters show that Ghia is responsible for this Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport lines and details. On the rear side, most striking are the faired-in tail lights. Depending on the kind of car enthousiast you are, you’ll be either looking at the gorgeous exterior or at the interoir while driving. Not only its pearl grey body with its never-ending story telling details draw you attention. Sitting on its red leather seats you overlook a large steering wheel matching perfectly with the blinking red instrumentally, chromed dashboard details, knobs, and clocks. Not only the outside tells you a fascinating story about the co-operation between Alfa Romeo and Ghia, behind the wheel you will also be mentioned of its characteristic design. To give you a short idea about the overall condition of the Alfa, the car won the Gentleman’s Sports Cars category of the Villa d’Este Concours of 2012. Only 2 examples are known to be still existing one in Europe and one in Japan. Isn’t it surprising the two other cars were lost, despite their special heritage?
