Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint RHD

Rare & beautiful, these 2600’s were top of the line cars for Alfa in the 1960’s.  The deign of the body was penned by Giugiaro & the coachwork done by Bertone. The 2584cc in-line six-cylinder twin-cam engine is an Italian masterpiece being extremely powerful, revving freely & making all the right noises.

A total of 6,999 2600 Sprints were manufactured between 1962 and 1966, only 596 of which were manufactured with right hand drive steering: 219 in 1964, 362 in 1965, and 15 in 1966.

This Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint RHD was sold new in the UK with registration number “CGY 849B”, we have the original registration number plates and UK logbook. It was first registered on 18.12.1964

In 1988 it was imported to Finland and was not in the best of condition, upon arrival in Finland it was put straight into storage. It sat in storage until 2008, when it was finally removed to be fixed and put back on the road.

Since being in Finland for the last 36 years it has been with the same owner, one owner car here in Finland.

In 2013 it was inspected and road registered here in Finland, over the years there was still some modifications and renewal of parts. The below will give you a good idea of the works carried out.

General summary:

This is a very rare right hand drive Alfa, try finding another one for sale at the moment.

It is road inspected (MOT/TUV) and is fully roadworthy, it drives well, and the engine sounds great.

If you are looking for a show car, then this one is not for you. As you can see in the photos it looks very presentable, up close though there are quite a few signs of previous repairs.

Mechanically it is very good, and the interior is also in nice original condition.

I have more detailed photos that can be sent upon request.
