Alfa Romeo built a dozen or so competition models with 2-, 3-, and 3.5-litre engines. One of these cars, a 6C 3000 CM, driven by Juan Manuel Fangio, finished second overall in the 1953 Mille Miglia. In a similar model Fangio also won the first Supercortemaggiore Grand Prix, held in Merano in the same year. The model donated to the Museum by Alfa Romeo in 1956 was built with a 2-litre engine and fitted with the powerful 6-cylinder engine of the 6C 3000.
