Is it too much to publish two Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprints in a week? Nope, in our opinion it is not. The main reason why two identical cars in a week is not too much, is related to the state of the two cars: both seem to be in very similar conditions, that is, parked… Read More Hidden peacock: 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint

Ten thousand dollars is no longer enough to take home a 2600 Sprint in acceptable conditions, we are now aware of it. That is, that we have here was in fact the “big sister” of the Alfa Romeo family of the 60s: at the beginning of the decade, in the European market the typical family… Read More Big six: 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
