The engine and gearbox are completely overhauled by LMB Racing in the beginning of 2021, and this car is 100% ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

The Alfa Romeo has a Belgian registration.
Introduced in 1962, the Alfa Romeo 2600 traces its origins back to the earlier 2000 (which was a 1958 update of the venerable 1900). However, the 2600 had something which earlier models lacked: a double-overhead camshaft six-cylinder engine which gave it smoothness, flexibility, and a top speed of 200 kph. This 2.6-liter engine fit neatly into the same engine compartment as the 2000’s four-cylinder and had been developed from the Giulietta engine, suggesting that the designers had a six-cylinder in mind for the model from the start. Styling was also Giulietta-derived, as the 2600 added single-piece bumpers, built-in driving lights, and a single air intake perched near the front of the elongated hood.
The 2600 was fitted with a smooth five-speed gearbox and also featured four-wheel disc brakes—a first for street Alfa Romeos. It was offered as a sharp-edged berlina sedan, which was styled in-house, a Bertone-penned coupe, which was one of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s first designs, and the handsome 2600 spider by Touring. In comparison to the smaller Giulietta and then Giulia, the 2600 was a high-speed cruiser, or grand routiere, suitable for a quick and comfortable jaunt down to the south of France for a weekend. Only 2255 examples of the 2600 Touring Spider were produced between 1962 and 1965, which makes it a very rare Alfa Romeo.
