Chassis:
Like many of the G1s, chassis 6018 was sold new to Australia. Shortly after taking delivery, the original owner went bankrupt and hid the Alfa Romeo from the creditors. It was not discovered again until 1947 and it was then put into use as a farm vehicle. Several Australian Alfa Romeo enthusiasts recognised the car's importance and rescued it in 1964. It has since been restored several times and remained in Australian ownership until the early 2010s. Fitted with Spider Sport style body, it was shown at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Its subsequent American owner had it restored once more and fitted with a Spider Corsa body similar to those used by the prototypes in their late December 1920 competition debut. The only known G1 to have survived, it was most recently shown in its latest guise at Pebble Beach in 2013.
