1948 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Competizione Sperimentale

The Competizione was built as an experimental racing car for the Alfa racing team and completed in may 1948. In 1950 Juan Fangio drove the Competizione in the Mille Miglia and finished in second place. It has a rich racing history and was raced until 1952. Unique features include larger valves, competition head and dry sump. The only postwar dry sump cars are Competizione 92001 and the 3-litre D150. A three-year restoration was completed by Red Line Restoration in Black Rock, Connecticut and overseen by Peter Marshall, noted Alfa Historian.
