Date 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 shines at Motorclassica 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 Without doubt the long-bonnet Alfa Romeos of the 1930s are today among the most sought after collector cars in the world, the 6C-1750 in particular considered one of the most desirable. So it was no surprise that one of Australia’s finest examples owned by Melbourne collector Lawrence Southward would take Best in Show at last year’s MotorClassica in Melbourne. Imported from New Zealand earlier that year,this Italian masterpiece captured the very essence of style and elegance at Australia’s premier classic car showcase for 2018.

Professionally restored in New Zealand, the jet black Alfa stole the show with its intricate mechanicals and fine attention to detail.

It would win every major racing event it was entered in during 1929 including the Grand Prix of Belgium, Spain, Tunis and Monza as well as that year’s Mille Miglia in the hands of Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi. It would also take out the Brooklands Double Twelve and the Ulster TT that year while the following year would see it win the Spa 24-hours and other road races and hill climbs. It also repeated its win in the Mille Miglia, this time driven by the great Tazio Nuvolari, this event legendary for his duel with teammate Varzi over the last 600km. Nuvolari would overtake Varzi in the early morning with his headlights switched off eventually finishing seven minutes ahead. Read next 1933 MG K3 Magnette recreation No ground-effects design here, just elegant simplicity Few cars have inspired this writer more than lengthy drives in a 6C-1750 in both naturally-aspirated and supercharged form. Built in six series from 1929 to 1933, the 1750 became more sophisticated over this four-year period, released initially in Turismo form, then in the improved Sport, Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo Compressor, Super Sport and, in its highest performance form, the Gran Sport. Just 257 Gran Sports were built in the fourth, fifth and sixth series on the shorter 2745mm wheelbase. Lawrence Southward’s chassis 10814401 is one of 106 fifth series cars and one of 30 constructed in 1932. Furthermore, it is one of just 25 5-series Gran Sports built with the coveted Zagato Spider coachwork. Large slender-rimmed steering wheels were just right for controlling old school racers Zagato was the favoured coachbuilder for the 6C, specialising in the lightweight Superleggera method of placing lightweight alloy body panels over small-gauge steel framework. But the car’s exemplary performance was due in no small part to the genius of the relatively young engineer Vittorio Jano who had been recruited by Enzo Ferrari in 1923 from Fiat. Ferrari had become a test engineer and driver for Alfa Romeo in 1920 later forming his own Scuderia to race their cars. Jano’s first project was the P2 Grand Prix car which would bring much competition success. By 1926 he had become Alfa Romeo’s head of design and soon set about designing a grand touring car with a brand new overhead-cam six-cylinder engine. The 6C-1500 emerged in 1927 and a year later was developed into the 6C-1500 Sport featuring twin overhead camshafts. The addition of a Roots supercharger in 1929 on the 6C-1500 Super Sport would further boost output however by late 1929 a lift in displacement to 1752cc saw the arrival of the first 6C-1750. The Southward 6C had an interesting first English owner in Rupert Edward Lee Featherstonehaugh, better known as Buddy’, a popular Jazz saxophonist and racer. As part of the Billy Mason Band, Featherstonehaugh was touring Britain’s major cities in 1932 with jazz superstar Louis Armstrong and was enjoying enormous success, the financial rewards enabling him to race Alfa Romeos, amongst others,, along the way. Seats look more than tolerably comfortable Perhaps his greatest success pre-war was winning the 1934 Grand Prix in d’Albigeois in a Maserati 26M owned by Whitney Straight. In late 1934 he would part with the 1932 6C-1750 Alfa to another racing driver, Kenneth Evans. Evans was racing an MG R-Type single-seater at the time, later campaigning ERAs and Alfas, finally selling the 6C in the lead up to the war. Induction system finning provides some intercooler effect It is not known what happened to the 6C-1750 during or immediately post war, however it re-surfaced in England in 1951 and by the early 60s was in the hands of George Gray who also owned the ex-Tim Birkin Alfa-Romeo 8C-2300. With interest growing in pre-war Alfas by 1973 the 6C had been imported to New Zealand by Dale Court then ten years on passed to Lawrence Southward’s father Roy in Christchurch. In Roy’s hands it was campaigned extensively in a number of vintage rallies including the 1991 Pan Pacific Rally in Palmerston North. Lawrence also campaigned the car in a number of events from the age of 17. Attention to detail in providing wiring with period insulation is stunning The Southward family was well known in New Zealand for the 400 car Southward Museum in Christchurch, established by Lawrence’s grand-father Sir Len Southward. After considerable use of the 6C, oil was discovered in its water and the decision was taken by Roy to undertake a comprehensive restoration. However ill health would interrupt the project, while his subsequent passing in 2010 saw the project put to one side. Lawrence reinstated the project in late 2012, sending the car to Bristol Restorations in Upper Hutt where it was brought up to Concours standard over a five-year period. Today, this outstanding Alfa Romeo forms part of an impressive cache of collector cars in Southward’s stable including the oldest car in Australia, which is an 1891 Panhard Levassor featuring tiller steering and hot tube ignition. Mechanical brakes in finned drums were state of the art then Also sharing the rarefied atmosphere of his garage space with the Alfa 6C-1750 is a 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Tourer, a 1927 41/2-litre short-wheelbase Bentley Tourer, 1929 Bentley Speed Six Tourer, 1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Saloon and a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 series 4 Coupe. Behind the wheel it’s immediately apparent why the 6C Alfa sportsters were so successful – the vibrant 1750cc straight-six with double overhead camshafts and two inclined valves per cylinder is force-fed from a twin-throat Memeni carburetor by a Roots supercharger running at half engine speed. The engin, with quality aluminium castings and ribbed supercharger, is superbly detailed. It’s a work of art and part of the magic and charm of this Italian sports car. The driver’s wheel is large and, while the car feels initially heavy through the steering, it becomes far more nimble once underway. This is a car that loves to be revved and the further up the rev scale the more its soundtrack becomes intoxicating. At the same time the scream from the supercharger and wail from the four-speed gearbox leaves no doubt you’re driving the next best thing to a full-blown period racecar. With an all-up weight of just 940kg, one can understand why the Alfas swept all before them before the war. Visually, the car’s long bonnet and short tail purveys a powerful sports profile; the relatively long wheelbase ensures the car sits and tracks well on the road, its leaf sprung suspension with strong friction dampers keeping it well controlled and nicely planted on the road. Few post-vintage cars are as satisfying to drive on the open road and it will happily cruise up to 145km/h without any real signs of stress. In Australia, Alfa 6C-1750s are thin on the ground, Gran Sport models in particular, and without doubt the Southward car is one of the best and most deserving of its MotorClassica Best of Show crown. 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 BODY Aluminium Zagato 2-door sports body on pressed-steel chassisENGINE 1752cc DOHC inline six cylinder with Roots blower and twin-throat carburettor POWER 63kW Est 4500rpm PERFORMANCE Top speed 150km/hTRANSMISSION4-speed manualSUSPENSION Front solid axle with semi-elliptics and friction shocks.

In 1906 the company that became Alfa Romeo was founded as Società Anonima Italiana Darracq SAID by the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq with several Italian investors. In 1909, Cavaliera Ugo Stella one of the investors became chairman of the SAID. Originally the firm's location was in Naples, but Darracq decided late in 1906 to move the factory to Milan in a suburb of Portello. The Italian Darracq cars were selling very slowly in late 1909, and Stella with other co-investors founded a new company named originally still in partnership with Darracq. In 1919 the first non-Darracq vehicle produced was the 1910 24 HP, designed by Giuseppe Merosi who was hired in 1909 to design new cars that were more suitable to the Italian market. Eventually, Merosi would design a series of new cars with even more powerful engines, from 40-60 HP. even ventured into motor racing with drivers Franchini and Ronzoni competing in the 1911 Targa Floria with two 24 HP models. Three years later an advanced Grand Prix car was designed and constructed, the GP1914 featured a four-cylinder, double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and twin ignition. Unfortunately, the onset of WWI halted automobile production at for three years. Utilized on road, race, and sports cars constructed between 1925 and1954 was the Alfa Romeo 6C name. The designation 6C refers to a straight 6 engine. Coachbuilders like Zagato, Touring Castagna, Pininfarina, and James Young constructed these bodies. From 1933 there was also a 6C version with a factory Alfa body built in Portello. Alfa's RL was considered by many to be too cumbersome and heavy in the mid-1920's so a new development began. For the 1926 season, the 2-liter formula that had lead to Alfa Romeo winning the World Championship in 1925 was updated to 1,5 liter. In 1925 the 6C1500 was introduced at Milan and production began in 1927 with the P2 Grand Prix car as a starting point. The engine capacity was now at 1487 cc, compared to the P2's 1987 cc, while the supercharging was dropped. The initial versions were bodied by Young and Touring. A 6C Sport was introduced in 1928 with a dual overhead camshaft engine. The sports version was numerous racing, including the 1928 Mille Miglia. With the 200 with DOHC engine, the total production was 2000. Ten versions of a supercharged Super Sport variant were also made. In 1929 a much more powerful 6C 1750cc was introduced in 1929 in Rome. The base model had a single overhead cam; Super Sport and Gran Sport versions had DOHC. A supercharger was also available. The total production was 369 units. In 1933 the final derivative of the original 1500 version of the 6C 1900 with a 1917 cc engine was introduced, with an aluminum head for the first time. This version could achieve top speed of 130 kilometers per hour with 68 brake horsepower. Incredibly rare, this 1900 version was produced in only 197 copies before it was replaced by 6C 2300. A less expensive alternative to the 8C, the 6C 2300 was designed by Vittorio Jano from 1934 until 1937. The 6C 2500 was introduced in 1938 until 1952 and it was the final 6C road car. WWII disrupted car development, but a few hundred 6C 2500's were constructed from 1940 until 1945. Following the war, the first new Alfa model was the 1946 6C 2500 Freccia d'Oro. A total of 680 units were built through 1950, and the body done by Alfa. The 'Golden Arrow' was sold to affluent customers like King Farouk, Rita Hayworth, Prince Rainier, Ali Khan, and Tyrone Power. In 1949 the 6C 2500 Villa d'Este was introduced and was produced until 1952. It was named for the Concorso d'Eleganza held in villa d'Este, a Touring Superleggera-bodied version was awarded the prize. The Villa d'Este was Alfa's final hand built model and only 36 examples were made. The final 6C was produced in 1952 and was replaced by the 1900. The 6C 2500 was introduced in 1952 and was one of five long wheelbase automobiles produced by Touring of Italy. In 1950 a 6C 3000 prototype was constructed and was basically a 2500 with a 3L engine. This prototype didn't appear until 1952, as the Competizione Maggiorata, which was built for racing, with a engine, in four coupe and two spider versions. The 6C 3000 was produced from 1950 until 1954. A coachbuilder from Milan, the body was shaped by Carrozzeria Colli with some of the style reminiscent of the 1900 DiscoVolante. The propulsion system of this particular model came from a project by Giuseppe Busso. This model differed from its ancestor yet it still utilized various components of the 3-liters-volume/6-cylinders system from the 6C 3000 prototype. The engine capacity was increased to 3495 cc. Following several updates, the power was increased to 275 Jessica Donaldson Chacune des marques possède dans sa gamme, sa licorne. Ce modèle qui marqué son temps, l’histoire, aussi bien celle de la marque que celle de l’Auto avec un grand A ». Chez Alfa, il y en a eu des légendes mais la 1ère fut probablement la 6C 1750… Qu’on soit clair, avec ce genre de voiture, je m’efforce d’aller succinctement à l’essentiel du best of… Sachant que ceux qui en ont parlé sérieusement l’ont fait dans des bouquins, parfois même en plusieurs tomes. En tout cas, l’Alfa 6C 1750 est une des légendes de la marque, une de celles qui ont réellement posé la notoriété de la marque aussi bien sur la route que sur les circuits. Sa 1ère apparition s’est faite lors de l’Exposition Automobile Internationale de Rome en 1929. A l’époque, l’automobile n’est pas encore devenu le produit de con-sommation qu’il est aujourd’hui. Elle est réservée à une classe aisée ou sert pour le sport. Mis à part que les normes ne sont pas encore tombées dans la dictature routière, et sur des routes encore loin d’être surchargées, chacun fait c’qu’il veut avec son auto, tant qu’il ne roule pas sur les passants et les piétons ! Et ça se passe plutôt bien. Bon quand ça sort, généralement ce n’est pas beau à voir… oui niveau sécurité, on est en 1929 aussi… tout reste à faire ! 6C signifie 6 cylindres, même si la cylindrée n’est pas exceptionnelle, la famille 6C a vu le jour en 1925… du moins son châssis. Le moteur, en l’occurence un 1500 Avant l’arrivée du 1750 4 ans plus tard proposait 3 config’ simple arbres, double arbres et double arbres avec compresseur… respectivement normal, sport et super sport. La production est lancée en 1927, le châssis s’habille de 3 carrosseries, coupé, cabriolet et spider. En 29, la cylindrée du bloc passe donc à 1752 cm3. Il repose sur 2 châssis, un de 2m92 et un autre de 3m10 pour les modèles Turismo, Sport et Gran Turismo Avec des places arrière et la même chronologie mécanique. La Super Sport et son compresseur offrait une puissance de 84 ch. Et en 1929, cette puissance démoniaque était réservée presqu’exclusivement aux modèles de course. La 6C pouvait atteindre 145 km/h… sachant qu’à la fin des années 20, les voitures capable de dépasser les 160 km/h se comptaient sur les doigts d’une main ! A son actif, la 6C compte de nombreuses victoires en catégorie moins de l, notamment les Mille Miglia en 1929 et 1930 ainsi que 2 victoires au Mans en 30 et 32. Pour Alfa, la 6C a hissé la marque au niveau de l’élite et fait briller le biscione au firmament de la compétition, qui était le meilleur moyen de se construire un notoriété en Europe. Ses différentes carrosseries permirent également à certains noms du design, de faire parler d’eux, Touring, Zagato, Farina. Sa cylindrée évoluera au fil du temps, 1900, 2300 jusqu’à 2500. Mais celle qui offrait le meilleur compromis poids puissance restait la 1750, d’où sa consécration en collection aujourd’hui, puisque sa côte est au minimum d’1 million d’€. En 1931, Alfa montera en gamme en présentant sa 8C qui, comme son nom l’indique, passe au 8 cylindres.
