Alfa Romeo – 6C 1500 SS MM Spider Zagato

Vehicle Overview

The quintessential racing car of the day, the Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 wearing Zagato coachwork inaugurated a dazzling period of countless race victories for the Works and privateers alike. Ramponi, Campari, Lurani, Ivanofsky and even Enzo Ferrari himself, thrilled in victory throughout Europe at Spa, numerous hill climbs and the ultimate road race, the Mille Miglia. All at the wheel of Zagato bodied 6C 1500s and 1750s.

The 6C 1500 was conceived by then chief engineer Vittorio Jano, who commissioned Ugo Zagato to pen a lightweight alloy spider body. Fewer than 200 6C 1500 racing cars were built with the 1487cc DOHC in-line 6 cylinder senza compressore engine, with 0211462 one of just a handful in Tre Posti trim.
