What did Rita Hayworth’s husband drive? This Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS

Which husband, though? Good question. While Rita Hayworth was married five times, this Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 was owned by Prince Aly Khan (that’s No. 3, for those counting). He loved the car so much–and his wife (at least at the time)–that he gifted Hayworth her own Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS.

As far as rarity, Alfa Romeo produced 383 examples of the short-wheelbase 6C 2500. This particular one comes with its matching-numbers 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine. The car underwent a four-year restoration and is accompanied by a copy of the estratto cronologico as well as a collection of restoration photos and import documentation.

RM Sotheby’s dubs this car, “One of the most famous examples of the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS.” Possibly. It certainly has the provenance.

Find this 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport Cabriolet by Pinin Farina for auction at RM Sotheby’s, with an estimated value of $365,000-$465,000.
