This striking Alfa Romeo, chassis 10814377, is a 6C 1750 Series V “Grand Sport” with lovely Figoni Cabriolet coachwork. Born in Italy, Giuseppe Figoni established a successful coachbuilding firm in the suburbs of Paris that become synonymous with quality, innovation, and style.

Figoni bodied some of the finest sporting cars of the 1930s, including several Alfa Romeos that were sold new through the firm’s French distributor. Records indicate the first owner of this 6C 1750 might have been Pierre Louis-Dreyfus, of the famed Louis-Dreyfus commodity trading company.

A genuine example of a sporting Alfa Romeo, and the only Figoni-bodied Grand Sport Cabriolet known to survive, this car retains its original French chassis and radiator badging that separate it from its Italian brethren. Recently restored by highly regarded specialists and presented today in its original white and black livery, this elegant Alfa Romeo has yet to be debuted at major concours d’elegance.
