Spider Colli

Chassis 1361.00127. This is the first of the two Colli Spider bodied 6C 3000 CMs constructed. The pictured Spider was driven to victory in the Supercortemaggiore race at Merano in 1953 by Juan Manuel Fangio; the type's only win. The second car used a modified, shorter chassis and three-litre engine and was prepared for the 1954 Supercortemaggiore. Sadly the short-wheelbase car was destroyed during its first test and before it could be immortalized in pictures.

Fangio's winning machine was retained by the factory and served as a test-bed for disc brakes in 1955. Today, the car is still owned by Alfa Romeo, who show the car in their excellent Museo Storico as well as at various events around the world. It is seen above during the 2006 Retromobile show and the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

 

 

Coupe Colli

Chassis 1361.00126. This was one of three Alfa Romeos entered in the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans race. All three of them were out of the race before the halfway marque with technical difficulties. It was the last Works entry for the coupes and two of the cars were handed to coachbuilders to be turned into show cars. The ex-Karl Kling / Fritz Riess car was handed to Boano and rebodied for Argentinian president Juan Peron.

Later in its life chassis 00126 was purchased by Alfa Romeo enthusiast Henry Wessels. Unfortunately he crashed the car heavily in the 1980s, damaging the unique Boano body. Wessels decided to rebuild the car with a body similar to the Colli designed and built bodies as used by Alfa Romeo at Le Mans. In this configuration the car has since been raced extensively at historic events like the Le Mans Classic where it is pictured above in the hands of the legendary Phil Hill

 

Spider Zagato

Chassis 1361.00125-1955. Started out as one of the original 1953 Coupes. Raced by Juan Manuel Fangio and Onofre Marimon at Le Mans. Afterward it was sold to Joakim Bonnier who crashed the car and had a Zagato Coupe body fitted. It was raced this way through to 1956 in Swedish livery. At some point the roof was removed, possibly due to cockpit cooling.

In Marcello Minerbi's book Alfa Romeo-Zagato SZ TZ, Giuseppe Busso talks about how the 750 Competizione came about: "This concept first developed through collaboration between Alfa Romeo and Abarth-Boano on a box-type sheet metal chassis conceived by Abarth. The car was built as a roadster and tested, but due to technical problems which came to light during the tests, Alfa gradually lost interest in it."

Initially, the idea was to produce 50 cars, but as Busso points out technical problems haulted further development.

The car was powered by a long stroke Inline-4 that wasn't too far off Alfa's pre-war designs.

Eventually Alfa Romeo did produce the SZ as a purpose-built racecar, but this used a completely different philosophy, having Giulietta components in a tube-frame chassis.

Chassis 1361.00128. Featured is the 6C 3000 CM that finished second at the Mille Miglia in the hands of Fangio. It served as a spare chassis before being sold to Pinin Farina to serve as a show car chassis. The Turinese coachbuilder fitted no fewer than four different bodies on the Alfa Romeo chassis between 1956 and 1960. At the Turin show in 1956, it was debuted as the "Super Flow" coupe and subsequently at Paris as the "Super Flow II". In 1959 a spyder body was fitted and '00128' was presented as the "Spyder Super Sport".

In 1960 the final body was crafted for the Alfa Romeo chassis. The spyder body was discarded and replaced by an airy coupe, dubbed the "Coupe Super Sport Speziale", again shown at Geneva. In this configuration, the ex-Fangio machine has survived. For many years it was displayed in Peter Kaus' excellent Rosso Bianco Museum where it is pictured. The Pinin Farina bodied 6C 3000 CM has not resurfaced since the entire collection was sold in 2005.

At the beginning of the 1960’s the Alfa Romeo marque was one of the most popular brands on the market, and in 1964 Bertone was given the opportunity to create two extremely interesting prototypes. One of these, the Alfa Romeo Canguro, stood out as the more ambitious and innovative project. It was a racing interpretation of the Giulia TZ, with a tubular chassis, and is a clear demonstration of the Bertone skill of reinterpreting the stylistic elements of any model. The Canguro was an advanced exercise in style for Bertone, completely freed from manufacturing constraints. Extremely smooth and sinuous, with its window surface completely worked into the body and perfectly at one with the panelling, the Canguro was an attention-grabber for its balanced lines and some completely innovative styling features, which even now still hold their ground. The Alfa Romeo Canguro is one example of the great school of Italian car design which shot to fame in the 1960’s.
