1977 ALFA ROMEO PETTENELLA LEONTINA GRAND SPORT 2000 - Lot 66

1977 ALFA ROMEO PETTENELLA LEONTINA GRAND SPORT 2000 Beautiful Alfa Romeo 6C replica Mythical Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV engine French registration 135 000 / 150 000€ The Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 was presented at the 1929 International Automobile Exhibition in Rome. It can be considered as a development of the 6C 1500 model of 1925. A legendary model in the history of Alfa Romeo. The Alfa 6C 1750 Gran Sport was presented in 1930 and features a compressor mounted directly at the end of the crankshaft. Most of the cars produced were Spider two-seaters with bodywork by Zagato. Rarer open-bodied versions were built by Castagna and Garavini. A special "Grand Sport" Testa Fissa racing version, produced in just six examples, boasted 102 hp and a top speed of 170 km/h. In its two years of racing activity, it twice won the Mille Miglia and the 24h of Spa. In the 1970s, two Italian entrepreneurs were faced with the success of Excalibur creations and other replicas of illustrious 1930s cars. One was Pettenella, a vintage car restorer in Turin, the other Achilli Motors, a luxury car dealer in Milan. The result of this partnership is the PETTENELLA LEONTINA GRAND SPORT, a replica of the Milanese carmaker Alfa Romeo's greatest achievements. Only one model would be reproduced: the 6C 1750 GRAND SPORT. The principle was as follows: the bodywork and chassis were produced in the tradition of the '30s, as faithful to the original as possible. The powertrain was the famous 4-cylinder, two-liter, twin-camshaft engine derived from the Alfa 2000, with the option of a 1750 engine to match the original. The running gear is modern, with disc brakes hidden under false drums to respect the old aesthetic. Manufactured between 1973 and 1976, only 14 examples were sold, making this one of the last cars produced, since it was sold in 1977. Equipped with the Alfa 2000's 2.0-liter engine, our car is trouble-free and particularly pleasant to drive. The bodywork is in good condition and the chassis is sound. This is a unique opportunity to acquire the combination of a 30's myth with the qualities of a 70's car. Ideal for rallying or touring, this car is just waiting for you. 1977 ALFA ROMEO PETTENELLA LEONTINA GRAND SPORT 2000 Beautiful Alfa Romeo 6C replica Mythical Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV engine French registration 135 000 / 150 000 The Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 was presented at the 1929 International Automobile Exhibition in Rome.
