The Alfa Romeo 6C name was used on road, race, and sports cars produced between 1927 and 1954 by Alfa Romeo; the "6C" name refers to the six cylinders of the car's straight-six engine. Bodies for these cars were made by coachbuilders such as James Young, Zagato, Touring Superleggera, Castagna, and Pinin Farina. Beginning in 1933 there was also a 6C version with an Alfa factory body, built in Portello. In the early 1920s Vittorio Jano received a commission to create a lightweight, high performance vehicle to replace the Giuseppe Merosi designed RL and RM models. The car was introduced in April 1925 at the Salone dell' Automobile di Milano as the 6C 1500. It was based on Alfa's P2 Grand Prix car, using a single overhead cam 1,487 cc in-line six-cylinder engine, producing 44 horsepower. In 1928 the 1500 Sport was presented, which was the first Alfa Romeo road car with double overhead camshafts.

In the mid-1920s, Alfa's RL was considered too large and heavy, so a new development began. The 2-litre formula that had led to Alfa Romeo winning the Automobile World Championship in 1925, changed to 1.5-litres for the 1926 season. The 6C 1500 was introduced in 1925 at the Milan Motor Show. Series production started in 1927,[3] with the P2 Grand Prix car as a starting point.The Alfa Romeo 6C-1500 Super Sport features a twin overhead cam six cylinder engine with a bore of 62 mm and stroke of 82 mm, giving a displacement of 1487 cc, as against the P2's 1,987 cc, while supercharging was dropped. First versions were bodied by James Young and Carrozzeria Touring.
In 1928, the 6C Sport model was released, with a dual overhead-camshaft engine. Its sport version won many races, including the 1928 Mille Miglia. Total production was 3,000 (200 with DOHC engines). Ten examples of a supercharged (compressore, compressor) Super Sport variant were also built. Wikipedia

Production: 1 of 159 (1931-1932).
The Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Turismo Compressore (GTC) was produced in 1931 and 1932, and combined a detuned version of the 6C Gran Sport's 1,752-cubic-centimeter supercharged engine with a long-wheelbase chassis. The suspension was comprised of semi-elliptic springs and adjustable shock absorbers, and large brakes provided the stopping power. The axles and gearbox were derived from the 8C. Among the list of coachbuilders were Zagato, Touring, and Castagna, among others. Two examples received lightweight bodies and competed in the 1932 Mille Miglia, with one placing fourth overall and winning the closed-car production class.
Alfa Romeo produced 66 examples of the GTC in 1931, and this particular example is the third-to-last built (based on its chassis number). It wears a two-door Coupé Royal body with seating for four and coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring. Its styling was modern and aerodynamic, with a domed roof, sloping trunk, and streamlined fenders.
The car's history is known from 1983 forward, when Ugo Isgró of Silea, Treviso, Italy, acquired it from an individual from Turin. At the time, the car was in very poor condition and was devoid of an engine. Mr. Isgró enlisted Dino Cognolato at Carrozzeria Nova Rinascente in Vigonza, Padua, to have the body restored. The work included the reconstruction of the sloping rear trunk and restoring the overlapping running boards and front fenders to the correct specification. When the work was completed in 1984, it wore a yellow and black livery.
In 1985, the car was sold to Umberto Genovese who commissioned Bonfanti Garage in Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, to restore all the mechanicals to full factory specification. The mechanical work was overseen by Gigi Bonfanti, including sourcing and installing a correct, supercharged, 1,752-cubic-centimeter inline, six-cylinder engine.
