ALFA ROMEO 6C - GB/UK license plates These listings have been assembled with data supplied by Tito Anselmi, E. Gordon Barrett, Corrado Bellabarba, Wayne Benner, Lorenzo Boscarelli, Jackson Brooks, Carlo Otto Brambilla, Damien Duigan, Luigi Fusi, Peter Giddings, Simon Moore, Bj örn Nilsson, Adolfo Orsi, Luigi Orsini, Roy Slater, Angela Cherrett (thru her books), Arthur Wennerstrom and input from various owners, some of whom have requested to remain anonymous. I have also learned quite a bit from a series of articles written by F.W. Stiles for Motor Sport in 1949.

Reminder: There is the potential complication of plates having moved from car to car, both in a legal fashion and sometimes out of expediency or perhaps for promotional purposes. Reminder: There is the potential complication of certain having been fitted with 6C1750 testa fissa engines for certain racing events. Reminder: There is the potential confusion of bodies having been swapped from one car to another. Reminder: Several owners have owned more than one similar car … confusion is possible!
