Equipment
Triple Weber carbs, wheel discs, rear wheel skirts, headlights faired into the front fender catwalks Jaeger timer-clock, blue faced gauges, Bosch headlights, folding vee windshield, fully disappearing top, biplane bumpers.
Condition
Represented as one of the Tipo 256 series 6C 2500 SS built by Ferrari in Modena with Spider Siluro coachwork by Touring. Probably raced when new by Mario Tadini at Stelvio in 1939 then rebodied for first owner Gigi Koeilliker by Pinin Farina with unusually aerodynamic coachwork. Next owned by Piero Dusio and later by Karl Weber in Zurich who raced and hill climbed it until 1988. Good older paint, erratic chrome, surface cracked original upholstery. Erratically cosmetically redone. Makes a good first impression and must go like the wind.
Market commentary
This is an important and, more importantly, beautiful Alfa with competition history and milestone coachwork. It is remarkably original but superficially cosmetically presented and maintained. More than good enough to be toured in its present condition, it won''''t be long before it feels a restorer''''s touch and emerges as a Best in Show contender. It''''s that pretty and a sound buy even at this post-block price and taking its shortcomings into account.
