Buying a 1961 Alfa Romeo 2600

The much anticipated successor to the Alfa Romeo 2000, the Alfa Romeo 2600 has become highly desirable in the classic car market, as it was the last Alfa Romeo to have an inline six-cylinder engine with twin overhead camshafts. This had been the traditional Alfa Romeo engine configuration since the 1920s; however, after World War II the company would move to four-cylinder engines as the factory shifted towards more economical cars that were easier to mass-produce. The 1961 Alfa Romeo 2600 was available as a Sedan, known as the 2600 Berlina, which offered a factory-built body. A 2+2 Convertible with a body by Carrozzeria Touring would also be offered as the 2600 Spider, and a Coupe with a body by Bertone was released as a 2600 Sprint. These models of the 1961 Alfa Romeo 2600 would be based on the corresponding models in the 2000 range, and would inherit the body styling of the previous range with minor changes. While the 2600 models were not considered a great sales success at the time, collectors and enthusiasts enjoy the opulent styling, performance and technology of the Sprint and Spider models in particularly.
