2600 / 2000 International Register

Eric Harrison and myself have been maintaining details of 2600 / 2000 for a number of years, primarily with getting the details of European cars correct, mainly with thanks to both the German and Swiss 2600 clubs.

I have now added the registration form to the files section of the 2600 newsgroup http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/alfa2600 and if you would like your car adding to the register please download the form, complete it and send it back to me.

I will then add the details to the register.

Obviously as some of this data is personal to the individual no details will be published or shared with any agencies outside the register. The registers prime purpose is to track details of cars and owners which may assist future owners tracking previous history of their cars.

In the event that you have a 2600 / 2000 or are thinking of buying if you send the register the chassis details of the car in question we will search the register for any history we have. This data will become more useful the more cars that are registered.

Many thanks

Dear Sir,

I am the current proud owner of Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint (type AR00601) chassis nr AR820392 engine nr AR00601*00387*.
I understand this car was previously owned and restored by Mr Hans Dall from Denmark.
Do you have any information about earlier ownership?

Thanking you for your attention, kind regards,

Hi Claude, welcome to AlfaBB!

The only listing I could find of AR820392 was in the last version of Tom & Dale Zat's register with last (and possibly only) contact in 1993, when the car belonged to someone by the name of Knudsen in Praestoe, Denmark. The address listed in the paper copy of this register now seems to belong to a glass art company. Chances are that the name Knudsen belonged to someone affiliated with this plastics manufacturer.

Dear Andrew,

I try to contact the mentionned web site with no success.

So I bought my 64' coupé 2600 sprint in 2005. The car slept in a castle since 1993. The car registration document gave the owner's profession, he was student!

I would like to know if you have got some info about my car.

The number's chassis is 825001 and the motor AR00601*07079.

King regards

Laurent

Hello,

As an owner of various Alfa Roméo, I’m looking for some informations about those cars, and in particular the original motor number and original color of some of my Alfa.

Especially, for : 2000 Touring Spyder – body 10204 01413
2000 TourignSpyder – body 10204 02484
And for 2600 Touring Spyder – body 10601 - 192723

Can you help me or give me some email address where I can obtain those informations.

Thanks in advance
Regards
Michel

Michel,

While I can understand the curiosity of knowing the original engine of a rare, collectible car, I hope no one will provide this information to you.

It is possible to purchase, for a small fee, the services of the FCA “Centro Documentizone”. You can provide them the car’s serial number, and serial number of any engine(s) you may have. They will confirm or deny if this number was original to your car. Regardless of externally provided info, it is likely the Centro information would be considered definitive.

The problem with any other source of the engine number is that his information can then be used to falsify the serial number on a non-original engine in order to enhance the market value of your car.

I am not claiming this is your intent. I am simply suggesting that we should all participate in protecting both the real and perceived legitimacy of our cars. There are already many problems within the Alfa world, so we should do our best to keep it from getting worse.

Michel,

I forgot to mention, Centro can provide the date of manufacture, original exterior color, usually the interior color, and the first point of delivery. Sometimes their files are incomplete on one or more of these elements, however.

I agree with Don on both points (regarding FCA archive being the best source and fake engine numbers).

I learned to drive standard (like 50 years ago) on a 2000 Touring Spider -10204-01380. Root beer brown with black leather. I would love to know where that car is today. Are the 2000-2600 registers still active for these at all any more? I have old copies but nothing ever appeared and they are hideously out of date. Anyone have any info? Thanks! Susan

Oh my lord!! I used to live in Hazardville - section of Enfield, and that's where this happened. It's amazing they are so close in serial number. What color is yours? Maybe it's the same car ?

What a crazy coincidence. I grew up in Rockville not far from you. My car is a dark grey and according to the factory its the original color. Are you sure it wasnt just dirty when you drove it? :) Its seem really odd there would be two of these pretty rare cars in the same area.

No it was definitely the root beer like almost metallic. I have the factory color charts from that time and I'll look to see if was a factory color or something special. Metallic paint wasn't a thing back then, I know, so maybe it wasn't so metallic or it was a repaint. Your car looks very solid, hopefully you will have a lot of fun with it.
The year I drove it would have been 1968 or 1969. I think most of them came from Faiola Brothers in Farmington, or possibly Kelleher & Mixer in Springfield, Mass. or even Gaston Andrey. A little too early for Palotti & Poole. By 1970 I had my first Alfa, a GTV and the 2000 got sold off to lord knows where.

Susan, I am positive that in the Alfa Romeo sales literature, from back in the day, there was a comment that the Two-liter could be special ordered in any color, including the new metallic paint of the day or something to that effect. I honestly don't know if any of our cars were custom painted by the Alfa Romeo factory or not.
