The first-generation Alfa Romeo 6C is an early open-topped Italian sports tourer, offered here in Cabrio form. Its straight-six character and hand-built feel explain why these cars remain so admired today.
Every Alfa Romeo 6C engine here is a gasoline six driving the rear wheels through a manual gearbox, as with the 1.5 MT and later 1.8 MT Cabrio. The larger displacement brings stronger pulling power, while the drivetrain rewards deliberate, unhurried shifting.
