Sometimes you come across a car so special it stops you in your tracks. And that says something. This 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Touring Coupé is one of those cars. The kind you find yourself walking around again and again, taking in every detail.

Entirely unrestored, completely original, exactly as it left the factory. That is rare. Truly rare. With matching numbers and a body by Carrozzeria Touring, this is a car you simply do not touch. No polishing, no modifications, and certainly no restoration. Just admire it and preserve it as is. That is how we see it, though of course, the choice is yours.

It was delivered new in January 1950 in Paris and still wears its original French license plates. And not just any plates. One from 1950, and another still in place from 1964. A number you almost whisper when you say it: Rhône, département 69. Romantic, isn’t it?

And then there’s the story. This Alfa spent decades tucked away in a private French collection, in the hands of the same owner for nearly 50 years. A man who kept it hidden not for show, but out of genuine love for the car. In 2015, it was rediscovered in its untouched condition. People called it a Sensation, with a capital S. And rightly so.

It was then acquired by a well-known collector in the Lyon region. When that collection was sold in 2022, this Alfa was finally shown to the world for the very first time. And everyone agreed: this is exactly how you want to discover a classic.

The inline six with triple carburetors still has that signature silky smooth tone that Alfa Romeo was known for in that era. Seeing and hearing a car like this, in such original condition, is an experience in itself.

Cars like this are virtually gone. Especially when it comes to a special Alfa with a Touring body that remains in this kind of preserved state. It is something truly remarkable, and we are proud to present it.
