Heller 1:24 - Alfa Romeo 1750cc Zagato (80715)

Its designer, the engineer Vittorio JANO, before joining ALFA ROMEO in 1923, had already participated in the design of FIAT racing cars which, at that time, were extremely successful. On joining Alfa Romeo, he was entrusted with the studies for the ALFA ?2, a racing car which was to win all the Grand Prix in 1924 and 1925, after which he worked on the 6?-1500 sports car with double overhead camshaft, and then on the 6c-1500 super sport with compressor. It was this last design which was used as a basis for the famous 6c-I750cc which was to be mass produced between 1929 and 1933 and in several versions. The success the ALFA ROMEO I750cc met was due to the combination of many great strong points, its road holding, its efficient braking, its supered and perfectly reliable engine and its streamlined elegant body owed to the talent of ZAGATO.
