01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B Cabriolet Zagato belongs to the specialist coachwork programme developed around Alfa Romeo’s six-cylinder chassis in the late 1930s. The 6C 2300 B offered a technically sophisticated foundation for both formal and sporting body designs. Its mechanical architecture made it particularly suitable for independent coachbuilders creating lighter, more individual interpretations of Alfa Romeo’s grand-touring cars.
Zagato’s own historical archive documents its work on the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B in 1937. This corroborates the year, underlying model and specialist coachbuilder relationship. The cabriolet body designation is retained from the particular Carrozzieri Italiani archive entry, but source material for the broader Zagato programme should not be taken to prove the identity of an individual open car without further evidence.
The resulting dossier therefore records an Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B with Zagato-associated cabriolet coachwork, while keeping chassis number, build quantity and detailed designer attribution open. The entry should also remain distinct from competition-bodied 6C 2300 B cars and other versions on the same Alfa Romeo mechanical platform.
