Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 GS chassis 851.3016
[edit]Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 GS chassis 851.3016 is a 1930 Gran Sport Spyder/Cabriolet, traditionally attributed to Zagato, and recorded in the Netherlands.
Factory specification
[edit]- Year: 1930
- Model: Alfa Romeo 6C 1500
- Variant: 6C 1500 GS
- Body style: Spyder / Cabriolet
- Chassis number: 851.3016

- Exterior colour: Burgundy (with black wheels)
- Interior: Burgundy

Technical notes
[edit]- Fitted with Testa Fissa engine configuration
Historical notes
[edit]- Formerly associated with Rosso Bianco Museum
- Possibly now associated with Louwman Museum (disputed)
- AutomotiveMasterpieces.com lists related chassis as 10814355 (identity uncertain)
- Strong indication that this car is **not** the Louwman Museum car
- Confusion exists regarding identification as Gianni Lurani’s racing car
- John de Boer’s attribution of 8513016 as another racing 6C 1500 Gran Sport is considered incorrect in current research
Lurani connection (identity under review)
[edit]Research suggests that the Lurani car:
- Was purchased new by Gianni Lurani
- Received a body of Lurani’s own design built by Campari & Sorniotti
- Underwent numerous developmental mechanical and visual modifications
- Was extensively documented in Lurani’s writings
- Appeared in Sports Car World (Australia), spring 1931
- Had competed in over a dozen events by early 1931
- Was later reportedly converted to 6C 1750 specification for events near Wiesbaden (where no 1500cc class existed)
It remains unclear whether chassis 851.3016 corresponds to that Lurani car.
