Good Points: Some truly classic bodywork. A good 2.6L engine.
Bad Points: Perhaps not up to the look of other cars of the same era.
General comments: In 1962, Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo introduced a new six cylinder coupe, based on the new 2600 Saloon and Spider, the 2600 Sprint. The Sprint was a full four seater coupe with an attractive body design.
Powering the new coupe was Alfa Romeo's new 2584cc, twin overhead cam, six cylinder unit. The 2.6 litre engine came with triple carburettors and produced over 145bhp. The Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint sold over 7000 units, before production finally ceased in 1966.
With some classic early 1960's bodywork, models finished in silver don't look a million miles from the immortal Aston Martin DB5, a definite nod to the trend for smooth lines that seem the norm for 1960s performance sports coupes.
Truly a beautiful model, the 2600 Sprint surely puts a smile on the faces of owners and drivers of this classic car.
