The Alfa Romeo 2600, Tipo 106, was the six cylinder flagship of the Italian maker from 1962 to 1968 and the successor to the Alfa Romeo 2000. It is historically significant as the last Alfa Romeo fitted with a straight six engine with twin overhead camshafts, the layout the company had favoured since the 1920s before four cylinder engines took over from 1950. Introduced at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show, it was offered as the factory bodied Berlina sedan, the Touring bodied two plus two Spider convertible and the Bertone bodied Sprint coupe. The limited edition 2600 SZ with Zagato fastback coupe bodywork and the very rare 2600 De Luxe with an OSI sedan body followed in 1965. A new all alloy 2.6 litre engine replaced the older cast iron four, and the 1750 models took over the top of the range in 1968.
