An Alfa Romeo 6C 2300B appearing at Concours of Elegance this September features a body designed by Swiss coachbuilder, Graber. In total, Graber bodied four 6C 2300s in a cabriolet style, but this example is the only existing one and the only with the Mille Miglia-specification engine and chassis. It was ordered when new by Martin Mueller, CEO of Bruggmuehle Goldach, one of the largest wheat mills in Switzerland. In 2014, it underwent a three-year restoration to return it to the condition in which it was first produced by Graber.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-699224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1880060_1939-Alfa-Romeo-2300B-Mille-Miglia-car-photo-2-high-res-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 6C 2500 SS was the successor to the 2300, and Concours of Elegance will be hosting one of the most intriguing examples of this particular model.
