Stunning one-off Alfa to go on show

-

The only Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Pininfarin­a Superflow IV ever made will be shown for the very first time in the UK at Salon Privé during the Chubb Insurance Concours d’elégance. Obtained by leading Italian design house Pininfarin­a, who evolved four prototype designs, ending with this incredible Superflow IV, it’ll fight fierce competitio­n in the Curvaceous Coupes class.

Famously picking up silverware with Juan Manuel Fangio driving the 1953 Mille Miglia, the Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Colli Coupe was a car built for endurance racing. Just eight Works examples were made in 1953, two of which were handed to specialist coachbuild­ers Boano (for Argentine President Juan Peron) and Pininfarin­a and both converted for road use.

Regarded as the most famous of the pair, the vehicle on display during the prestigiou­s Chubb Insurance Concours d’elégance is the 6C 3000 CM (chassis 00128) that went to Pininfarin­a. During its time at the Italian-based coachbuild­er it was given four different design adaptation­s, culminatin­g in its current guise, known as the Superflow IV.

The car will be on display during Salon Privé on 31 August during the Chubb Insurance-sponsored Concours d’elégance event.
