  • Rare Alfa Romeo Minibus
  • Charmingly restored in Italy
  • Matching numbers engine and chassis

According to the accompanying Certificate of Origin issued by Alfa Romeo, this stunning Romeo Autotutto left the factory on 7th January 1955 on its way to its first owner in Palermo, Sicily. Alfa Romeo also confirm that the engine is the original twin-cylinder two-stroke diesel unit first fitted to the vehicle. The Autotutto changed hands in 1963 when it was bought by a resident of Modena and, as was the custom at the time, the number plate changed too, signifying its relocation from Palermo to Modena.

The Autotutto formed part of a well-known collection in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy before our vendor, who specializes in these Alfa Romeos, purchased the vehicle and embarked on a comprehensive restoration of the body while also transforming the interior to this stunning camper van specification. The vendor mentioned that a swap to the alternative 1.3-litre twin-cam Giulietta engine would be quite straightforward but he preferred to keep the original diesel engine. The interior features a bench which folds out to form a double bed; a foldable table; multiple storage units; a sink with both fresh and used water reservoirs; and a gas stove complete with gas canister.

Additional features include a picnic hamper and a foldable camping table with incorporated seats. A charming and rare find, the Autotutto is offered with the aforementioned Certificate of Origin; older Italian registration documents; and a photographic record of the restoration. An interesting alternative to the more common offerings from Volkswagen, this delightful Autotutto would certainly be the ideal support vehicle at Goodwood, Le Mans Classic or other historic race meetings. We cannot think of a more stylish way to tow your 6C 1750...

1955 Alfa Romeo Romeo Autotutto T10 Camping-car Châssis n° AR T10 00314 Moteur n° AR 1640 00252

  • Rare minibus Alfa Romeo
  • Délicieusement restauré en Italie
  • Moteur et châssis matching numbers
  • Idéal comme véhicule d'assistance pour courses de classiques Même si Alfa Romeo est mieux connu pour ses véhicules plutôt sportifs, la marque a aussi produit l'Autotutto (le 'Tout usage'), un petit fourgon de livraison. Sa première version, le T10, fut lancée au Salon de Turin 1954 en deux variantes, fourgon tôlé et minibus, et de nombreuses autres carrosseries suivirent.

La firme ne développa pas de moteur spécifique pour son Autotutto à traction avant, elle se borna à y monter une version détarée de son classique quatre-cylindres double arbre de 1,3 litre, celui de la Giulietta. On pouvait aussi disposer, en option, d'un bicylindres deux-temps diesel suralimenté. Selon le Certificat d'origine qui l'accompagne, délivré par Alfa Romeo, ce magnifique Romeo Autotutto est sorti d'usine le 7 janvier 1955 pour être livré à son premier propriétaire à Palerme, en Sicile. Le constructeur confirme aussi que son moteur est bien le diesel bicylindres deux-temps d'origine.

L'Autotutto changea de mains en 1963 quand un habitant de Modène l'acheta et, selon la règle de l'époque, son immatriculation changea aussi pour tenir compte de son passage de Palerme à Modène. Ce véhicule fit partie d'une collection bien connue de l'Emilie-Romagne jusqu'à ce que notre vendeur, qui se consacre à ces Alfa Romeo, l'achète et se lance dans une restauration complète de sa carrosserie tout en en transformant l'intérieur pour en faire ce magnifique camping-car. Il précise que passer au 1,3 litre double arbre de la Giulietta serait aisé, mais qu'il a préféré conserver le diesel d'origine.

On trouve à l'intérieur une banquette qui se déplie pour se transformer en lit double, une table pliante, de nombreux rangements, un évier avec des réservoirs pour l'eau fraîche et les eaux usées et une cuisinière à gaz complète avec sa bouteille de gaz. Tout cela se complète d'un panier de pique-nique et d'une table de camping pliante avec sièges incorporés. Charmant et rare, cet Autotutto est proposé avec le Certificat d'origine déjà cité, d'anciens documents d'immatriculation italiens et un reportage photo de sa restauration. Ce délicieux Autotutto constitue une alternative intéressante à ce que propose communément Volkswagen.

Il ferait un parfait véhicule d'assistance à Goodwood, au Mans Classic ou à d'autres rassemblements de classiques de course. On ne saurait imaginer façon plus élégante de tracter votre 6C 1750...
