According to Angelo Tito Anselmi’s book, Alfa Romeo 6C 2500, chassis number 915766 was purchased new by Prince Aly Solomone Khan and registered in Como under the registration “CO 30455” on 31 October 1950. At the time, the Prince was married to the famed American actress Rita Hayworth, for whom he purchased a second 6C 2500 SS.

In February 1953, the Prince sold chassis 915766 to Tessiture Gildo Guenzoni S.r.l., and it was reregistered on 6 March 1953 as “VA 36245”. In September 1956, the car passed to Umberto Torreta, and then in November of that year, to Michele Verola, for whom it was reregistered in Milan. Later exported to the United States, in 1985 it was owned by Hobart Phelps of Sacramento, California, and subsequently by Knute Kolmann of San Carlos, California. In 1991, it was returned to Italy by Claude Ferioli and joined the current Italian-based owner’s collection in 2004.

Recipient of a four-year restoration and now presented in a striking shade of black, over a scarlet leather interior and matching soft top; the all-black wire wheels complete the utterly striking appearance of the stunning Pinin Farina coachwork. The car is accompanied by a copy of the estratto cronologico as well as a collection of restoration photos and import documentation. It is a spectacular automobile and one deserving of discerning ownership.
