01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Cabriolet Luna di Miele, designed by  Mario Revelli di Beaumont and coachbuilt by Bertone, represents a pinnacle of post-war Italian automotive design. First sold in 1947, this unique cabriolet quickly garnered attention and acclaim. The “Luna di Miele,” or “Honeymoon” in English, was introduced at both the Rome and Turin elegance concours in the same year, showcasing its elegant lines and sophisticated design. The Cabriolet’s design, attributed to Revelli di Beaumont and crafted by the renowned Bertone, combines stylish aesthetics with innovative features, reflecting the luxury and craftsmanship of the era. The vehicle’s introduction at prestigious events underscored its status as a remarkable example of Italian automotive artistry. After making its mark on the automotive world, the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Cabriolet disappeared from public view for several decades. Its rarity and the passage of time rendered it a lost gem of automotive history. However, it is now undergoing a meticulous restoration process under the stewardship of collector Corrado Lopresto. This restoration aims to preserve the car’s original charm and historical significance while bringing it back to its former glory. The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Cabriolet “Luna di Miele” remains a testament to the elegance and innovation of mid-20th-century Italian design. Its revival not only honors its legacy but also celebrates the enduring allure of classic automotive craftsmanship.
