Stiles. The car forms part of a group of consecutively numbered chassis delivered to the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Factory specification ==<br /> <br /> * Year: 1929<br /> * Model: [[Alfa Romeo 6C 1500]]<br /> * Variant: 6C 1500 SS (Super Sport)<br /> * Chassis number: 0312.871<br /> * Original coachbuilder: [[Zagato]]<br /> * Exterior colour: Red<br /> * Registration: UV 818 (United Kingdom)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Delivery and early ownership ==<br /> <br /> Chassis 0312.871 was registered to Alfa Romeo prior to delivery to the British importer F.W. Stiles.<br /> <br /> The car was subsequently registered in the name of Mrs. Florence Stiles (wife of F.W. Stiles) on 29 April 1929 in England.<br /> <br /> It was one of a group of four consecutively numbered 6C 1500 SS chassis delivered to the UK.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Coachwork changes ==<br /> <br /> Although originally bodied by Zagato, it appears that the original two-seat body may have been removed shortly after arrival in the UK.<br /> <br /> Contemporary accounts suggest that a four-seat body was fitted in order to comply with race regulations that required such configuration for certain events.<br /> <br /> The car is later believed to have reverted to two-seat configuration.<br /> <br /> Further documentation is required to establish the exact sequence of body changes.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Engine specification ==<br /> <br /> There are indications that the car may have been equipped at some stage with a &#039;&#039;testa fissa&#039;&#039; (fixed-head) engine.<br /> <br /> It has been suggested that ownership of some testa fissa engines remained with Alfa Romeo, although others may have passed through the hands of the UK importer Stiles.<br /> <br /> The precise engine history of chassis 0312.871 remains subject to research and verification.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Possible Nuvolari association ==<br /> <br /> Photographs exist depicting a car carrying registration UV 818 with Tazio Nuvolari at the wheel.<br /> <br /> Whether these images definitively depict chassis 0312.871 has not been conclusively established and requires further archival confirmation.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Later history ==<br /> <br /> Later records indicate the car resided in the United States by at least 2011.<br /> <br /> Further ownership documentation is required to complete the historical chain.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Historical significance ==<br /> <br /> Chassis 0312.871 is significant for several reasons:<br /> <br /> * One of a small UK-delivered group of 6C 1500 SS chassis<br /> * Originally Zagato-bodied<br /> * Possible early configuration changes for competition<br /> * Potential association with testa fissa engine specification<br /> * Possible photographic association with Nuvolari (unconfirmed)<br /> <br /> The car represents an important subject for further archival and documentary research.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Registry classification ==<br /> <br /> * 6C 1500 SS<br /> * UK importer chassis (F.W. Stiles)<br /> * Originally Zagato-bodied<br /> * Configuration history under investigation<br /> * Engine specification under research<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Research notes ==<br /> <br /> Further confirmation is sought regarding:<br /> <br /> * Testa fissa engine status<br /> * Period race entries<br /> * Authenticity of Nuvolari photographic association<br /> * Sequence of body modifications<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Chassis registry reference ==<br /> <br /> See: [[Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 SS/Chassis Registry]]</div>
