Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Super Sport Mille Miglia winner

The Campari–Ramponi winning entry in the 1928 Mille Miglia.

This entry records a specific sporting achievement: Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi’s victory in the 1928 Mille Miglia in a 6C 1500 Super Sport. It is an archive profile of the winning entry. The driver pairing, event and result define its significance more securely than the appearance of a modern car carrying a similar number.

Engineering and historical context

Alfa Romeo’s Heritage account identifies this victory as the marque’s first Mille Miglia win. The same account describes the Super Sport as a 1487 cc car and reports a 31-car production series. Its English output figure is labelled HP; the museum’s corresponding specification uses CV. This archive profile therefore avoids a numeric horsepower field that would silently erase the unit distinction.

Production and rarity

The inventory’s one-car description refers to the winning race entry. It is not a separate factory production series of one, and the structured production total remains blank. The model-series total belongs on the general Super Sport profile. A confirmed winner identity would require records connecting the race entry to a stamped chassis and its subsequent history.

Coachwork and the illustrated car

The period photograph shows the winning number 30 entry. It is preferable here to a modern illustrative survivor because it relates directly to the event being described. It still does not prove that a particular surviving vehicle is this car. Later replica bodies, commemorative liveries and historic-rally entries each deserve their own labels.

Reading an individual car’s history

Begin with the chassis identification and trace its connection to dated records. Keep engine identity, coachwork and race history as separate lines of evidence. A replacement component may be documented and appropriate without being original to delivery; a restored body may be historically faithful without preserving every original panel.

For this Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Super Sport Mille Miglia winner entry, retain copies of the records that support the precise version being described. Period photographs can establish a configuration at a particular date, while invoices and restoration photographs can explain subsequent changes. A concours award or modern rally appearance belongs in the ownership history, alongside those records, rather than replacing them.

Collector questions

Does the model name identify a particular chassis?

This archive entry identifies a historical winner, but no surviving chassis attribution is established here.

What does the production figure count?

The exact variant field is left blank. The production discussion records the available evidence and the limits of its scope.
