The Alfa Romeo 1900 C Super Sprint Coupé realises Ugo Zagato’s wish to exploit the 1900 platform for racing—with his car some 100 kilograms lighter than the alternative body from Touring, thanks to its lightweight aluminium panelling. The car was popular among amateur racing drivers of its day, including the example offered here.

Chassis 01845 was delivered new to one Ruggero Ricci of Lucca, Italy, with whom it was registered as “LU 20404”, wearing green paint and supplied by Great Garage International. Ricci entered the car in some local races, including the 1954 Firenze-Siena, where it was driven by Otello Biagiotti of Pistoia, who clearly enjoyed the car and duly bought it the following February, registering it as “PT 14944”. Biagiotti only kept the Alfa Romeo for four months before it was purchased by its next owner, Maria Laura Pelliccia of Florence, and it was re-registered as “FI 79653”. Two years later, Umberto Mazzi, also of Florence, bought the car and kept it until February 1963, when Venanzi Alberto Cesaroni of Castiglion Fiorentino acquired the Super Sprint, assuming the

targa

“AR 79653”. In June 1968, the car was bought by Lanzini Gino Santi of the same town, then it came into the ownership of Giuseppe Strippoli in September 1969, when it took the Roman registration “RM E69578”.

In Strippoli’s ownership, the Alfa Romeo was parked in a garage and would stay there for the next four decades. In 2013, the car was discovered by esteemed Milanese collector Corrado Lopresto in tired but unrestored condition. Italian magazine articles (available to view on file) show the car in its condition straight out of storage, and it was then subject to a comprehensive, nut-and-bolt restoration. Taking care to retain as much of the car’s originality as possible, much of the interior trim and leather was carefully repurposed while the dashboard was painstakingly renovated, revealing the original grey paintwork. The exterior of the car was refinished in the resplendent shade of green it is presented in today. Photos of the car undergoing restoration can be viewed on file.

Upon completion of the restoration, the Alfa Romeo was shown at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it won 1st prize in the Postwar Preservation class. In the summer of 2022, the experts at S2 Classic Cars in the Netherlands invested more than 200 hours for mechanical preparation, which totalled around €19,000, to ready the car for historic racing events. Now the charming Super Sprint awaits its next owner for further appearances at the many events and concours lawns it would be eligible to enter, including the Mille Miglia. The car is offered for sale with its period Italian registration papers.

L’Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint Coupé permit à Ugo Zagato de réaliser son rêve d’exploiter la plateforme 1900 pour la compétition en l’allégeant d’environ 100 kg par rapport à la carrosserie Touring grâce à des panneaux en aluminium légers. Ce modèle, y compris l’exemplaire présenté ici, était populaire chez les pilotes amateurs de l’époque.

Le châssis 01845 fut livré neuf à un certain Ruggero Ricci de Lucca, en Italie. Elle fut immatriculée sous le numéro « LU 20404 », avec une peinture verte, et livrée par Great Garage International. Ruggero Ricci inscrivit sa voiture à quelques courses locales, dont la Firenze-Siena 1954 où elle fut pilotée par Otello Biagiotti, de Pistoia. Ce dernier dut beaucoup l’aimer puisqu’il l’acheta en février et l’immatricula sous le numéro « PT 14944 ». Il ne la garda cependant que quatre mois avant de la vendre à Maria Laura Pelliccia, une habitante de Florence, qui l’immatricula sous le numéro « FI 79653 ».

Deux ans plus tard, Umberto Mazzi, lui aussi de Florence, acheta la voiture et la conserva jusqu’en février 1963, puis ce fut au tour de Venanzi Alberto Cesaroni, de Castiglion Fiorentino, qui la fit immatriculer « AR 79653 ». En juin 1968, la voiture fut vendue à Lanzini Gino Santi dans la même ville, puis elle passa entre les mains de Giuseppe Strippoli en septembre 1969. Elle fut alors dotée d’une plaque romaine « RM E69578 ».

Puis, elle resta dans un garage pendant quatre décennies. En 2013, elle fut découverte, fatiguée et non restaurée, par le collectionneur milanais Corrado Lopresto. Des articles de magazines italiens (joints au dossier) montrent la voiture dans l’état où elle se trouvait à sa sortie de stockage. Elle bénéficia ensuite d’une restauration complète. Afin de conserver au mieux l’originalité de la voiture, son garnissage intérieur et ses cuirs ont été réutilisés autant que possible, tandis qu’une rénovation méticuleuse du tableau de bord permit de révéler la peinture grise d’origine. L’extérieur de la voiture fut repeint dans la magnifique nuance de vert qu’elle affiche aujourd’hui. Des photos de la restauration sont jointes au dossier.

Après sa restauration, l’Alfa Romeo fut présentée au Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance 2014 où elle remporta le 1er prix dans la catégorie Préservation d’après-guerre. À l’été 2022, les spécialistes de S2 Classic Cars aux Pays-Bas passèrent plus de 200 heures sur la préparation mécanique de la voiture, pour un montant total d’environ 19 000 €, afin qu’elle puisse participer à des courses de voitures anciennes. Aujourd’hui, cette charmante Super Sprint attend son prochain propriétaire pour apparaître sur les nombreux événements et concours auxquels elle peut prétendre, dont les Mille Miglia. La voiture est proposée à la vente avec ses documents d’immatriculation italiens d’époque.
