Scope and Content

This poster presents the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Spyder (5th Series) as both an object of beauty and a feat of engineering, combining a period photograph of the red sports car with a detailed technical cutaway and full specifications. It highlights the model’s key characteristics—its inline six‑cylinder DOHC engine, 1752 cc displacement, 85 bhp output, four‑speed transmission, rigid axles with semi‑elliptic leaf springs, and mechanical drum brakes—alongside general data such as its 1930–1933 production period, 90 mph top speed, and original Italian list price of £1,000. The layout mirrors classic factory‑style technical posters, pairing aesthetic appreciation with engineering transparency, and the text is already in English, requiring no translation.
