The first post-war competition model, chassis 920.002 is one of two surviving cars, which, following four years of hugely successful racing, was mothballed and left untouched for a staggering forty years as part of Michel Dovaz’s fabled ‘Sleeping Beauties’ collection. Originally delivered to well-known privateer racer, Franco Rol in May 1948, chassis 002 made four consecutive Mille Miglia appearances – from 1948-51 – and completed three Targa Florio runs – from 1949-51- where it enjoyed significant success across the board.

This is the only car on record to have competed in four successive Mille Miglias from 1948 to 1951. Despite a field that consisted of 303 participants, Rol and his co-driver managed an impressive third place overall in the 1949 edition of the Mille Miglia. At the Targa Florio, 002 placed second in the 1949 edition, third in the 1950 and fifth in 1951. 002 is presented for sale with an impressive collection of documentation, which includes a full ownership history, a raft of period photographs, race information, newspaper clippings, and an original Alfa booklet. The 6C 2500 is widely regarded as the end of an era, with some even calling it the last great Alfa. With its rich racing history and concourse winning restoration, this Competizione takes an already celebrated car and adds a heavy dose of pedigree mixed with a little luck. The end result is an unforgettable Alfa that adds depth and color to a time most often viewed in black and white – a rolling testament to an era of racing firmly sealed away in history books 😎 _______________________________________________ #automotive #carporn #autoporn #design #style #vintage #drive #classic #classiccar #collect #icon #forsale #classiccarchasers #carphotography #drivetastefully #luxury #timeless #alfa #alfaromeo #prewar #italian #6c #legend #race #millemiglia #competition #art #sculpture".
