The Alfa Romeo 2600 (designated 106-Series) was Alfa Romeo's six-cylinder flagship model produced from 1962 through to 1968. Factory-built right-hand drive 2600 Spiders were only available after 1964 and prior to that, bespoke conversion to right-hand drive for UK-cars was the sole prerogative of Worthing-based Ruddspeed. The Touring-bodied 2600 Spider was a rare car anyway and it is thought that only a handful passed through Ruddspeed's workshops, including the beautiful example on offer here which was subsequently delivered on 24th April 1963 to its first owner.

The car's extensive history file contains a substantial amount of servicing and restoration invoices accumulated by its various owners, confirming that this rare right-hand drive example has benefited from much care and attention over the years. Originally finished in Bianco Antico, it spent many years wearing Alfa Rosso before finally being returned to Alfa White prior to the vendor's purchase in 2016. Since then, it has benefited from an extensive renovation over a three year period, carried out by marque specialists, K & L Autos of Golders Green and Century Classics of Hungerford, with additional work by Benalfa of Westbury and the vendor's own in-house mechanic.

This car will be auctioned at the Race Retro sale on Saturday 22nd February, 2025 at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.
