  • One of just 599 examples of the 1900 C Super Sprint made
  • Coined by Alfa Romeo as “the family car that wins races”
  • Retained by The Curated Collection for more than 10 years
  • Eligible for the Mille Miglia and other historic rally and touring events

In 1954, Alfa Romeo gave its popular 1900 platform a sporty twist, creating the Super Sprint Coupé. Carrozzeria Touring was chosen to build the bodywork, comprising a steel structural chassis and aluminium body, while the model boasted an engine with 1,975-cc displacement. When production ceased in 1958, some 599 units of the perennially handsome 1900 Super Sprint Coupé had been made.

As detailed in a letter from Alfa Romeo’s Centro Documentazione Storica, dated 1996 (available to view on file), chassis 10232 was manufactured in October 1956, finished in Blue. It was sold to the marque dealership Società per il Commercio dei Prodotti Alfa Romeo in Lugano, Switzerland. Between 1984 and 1996, the car was owned by a P. Jappert of Widen, Switzerland. The subsequent owner was a Dr St. Zierhut from Ohlstadt, Germany, who retained the car until 1999. The Super Sprint was then acquired by a G. Manfred of St Vith, Belgium, who maintained the car with the Dutch garage Charles Poelmans, before it joined The Curated Collection in 2013.

Please note it is believed that the engine number has been restamped. A charming example of “the family car that wins races” this 1900 C Super Sprint would be a lovely companion for weekend drives, rallies, or tours—while providing eligibility for landmark events including the Mille Miglia.

En 1954, Alfa Romeo a enrichi sa plateforme 1900 d'une version sportive avec le coupé Super Sprint. La Carrozzeria Touring a été choisie pour réaliser la carrosserie, composée d'une structure en acier et de panneaux en aluminium, le modèle recevant aussi un moteur de 1 975 cm3. Quand la production s'est arrêtée en 1958, quelque 599 exemplaires du magnifique coupé 1900 Super Sprint étaient sortis d'usine.

Comme l'indique un courrier du Centro Documentazione Storica d'Alfa Romeo, daté de 1996 et disponible dans le dossier, cette voiture (châssis 10232) a été fabriquée en octobre 1956, de couleur bleue. Elle a été vendue au concessionnaire de la marque Società per il Commercio dei Prodotti Alfa Romeo, à Lugano en Suisse. De 1984 à 1996, elle a appartenu à un M. P. Jappert, de Widen en Suisse, à qui a succédé le Dr St. Zierhut, d'Ohlstadt en Allemagne, qui a gardé la voiture jusqu'en 1999. Cette Super Sprint a été ensuite achetée par M. G. Manfred, de Saint-Vith, en Belgique, qui l'a fait entretenir au garage hollandais Charles Poelmans avant qu'elle ne rejoigne en 2013 "The Curated Collection".

Veuillez noter que le numéro de moteur a peut-être été refrappé. Séduisant exemplaire de "la familiale qui gagne des courses", cette 1900 C Super Sprint sera une excellente compagne pour les week-ends, les rallyes ou les voyages — tout en étant éligible à divers évènements importants dont les Mille Miglia.
