Visited fellow vintage enthusiast's garage recently to view the latest acquisition.   A 1949 "oily rag"  Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Golden Arrow sports coupe, one of 680 made.  Produced between 1946 an 1951 with six cylinder 2443cc Dual Over Head Cam providing 90 bhp at 4600 rpm.  Top speed 155 Km/hr or 96mph.  Absolutely the most comfortable back seats - certainly not the car to lend to .........













Door Handle Detail - Italian Design

Note rear door handle for back seat passengers

Tool Kit
Easy Access to spare wheel - more civilised than modern cars
