Can anybody let me know who the experts are with regard to the prewar 6C 1500 and 1750?
Further, I would be interested in finding the names of reputed restorers of these cars located in Europe
I'm not an expert on these cars but since nobody else responded, here are some hints:
Angela Cherrett was mentioned in this thread. I hope this answers the question about experts.
With respect to a restorer in Europe, Fabio Caligaris in Italy may be your man. I've seen a 6C 1750 in his excellent restoration shop near Milan when I visited him 3 years ago. He is the technical advisor for the 6c2500 register (see http://www.6c2500.org for contact information) and is a very nice guy who speaks English.
I don't have an address or e-mail for her, but at one time she was the head of the Alfa section of the VSCC in England. Perhaps she can be contacted through them at: [email protected]
I got a kick out of the link to Auto Restorations in Christchurch. http://autorestorations.co.nz/our-work/Classic-cars/restored/1930-Alfa-Romeo-1750GS.htm ("I know that car from somewhere....") Anyway, they are Fantastic, but check your exchange rate. We've had another car done by Bruce and Gavin's Company many years ago, a 1947 Delahaye 175 "one-off". Both won Best in Class at Pebble Beach Concours and the Delahaye also won the French Trophy. In addition long-time friends have done at least six cars (Aston Martin DB3S, Ferrari 196S Dino Sport, Maserati 300S, Ferrari 375 Plus, Alfa Tipo C, Baldwin Mercury Special) if I recall correctly. Each won at Pebble Beach and also raced at Laguna Seca. This August one of the Auto Restorations Guy's was visiting during Monterey Historic's / Pebble Beach Concours Week and said "Hello". He really liked seeing the Alfa again after many years and was pleased to see it run so well at the track. They are top notch.
Considering the significant advantage due to exchange rates, I would also strongly suggest Phil Reilly & Company http://www.philreillyco.com/ for the mechanical restoration with all body work done by Steve Moal Coachbuilders http://www.moal.com/index.html. They have done at least two cars for us, including the Alfa following a major shunt. They are well known among vintage racers and collectors, are very private, costly and extremely selective about their work.
The VSCC address above is incorrect, the club moved several years ago to Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. Angela Cherrett's post address is Old Forge, Quarr, Dorset, SP8 5PA, UK

Chassis...
I have an early 3 meter wheelbase coupe but my engineer suggests I use an SS ratio differential as the car is supercharged. Does anybody know of a supplier who has experience manufacturing new crown wheel and pinions in the SS ratio?
Thanks Toby from Australia
Hello!
I have this early 6C gearbox with some other parts. On the gearbox is the number 843074. Is there a way to identify the chassis number of the car?
Thanks

This will be the first of a few threads I hope to start with the hope that we might begin an information exchange about various versions of the 6C1750 and the variations that came before, during and after.
As many will know by now, I have studied virtually all low-production Italian car...
The overview listing of information compiled thus far about Alfa Romeo 6C2300 production has been moved to the second page, post #26. The listing is updated to July 9, 2015 and then edited quite heavily from there. There are well over 230 cars described by chassis number and some additional...
