  • Late Series I example
  • Italian-delivery example from new
  • Documented with a lengthy Estratto Cronologico, FIVA card, and ASI certificate

In 1951 Alfa Romeo introduced a new model centred on a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine. The 1900 was available in standard, long-wheelbase, and short-wheelbase chassis lengths, with the latter 1900C performing admirably in Italian Sports Car Championship races. While most were bodied by Touring, a smaller percentage received Pinin Farina fastback coupe coachwork. In any iteration, the 1900 is considered one of Alfa Romeo’s most collectable models, which powered multiple competition victories.

This late Series I 1900C benefits from a long life in Italian ownership. As demonstrated by numerous Auto Club d’Italia registrations (Estratto Cronologico) on file, chassis no. 01422 received a Certificate of Origin in late September 1953 and shortly thereafter entered a multi-decade chain of Italian owners. The car has previously competed in the Mille Miglia Storica and has spent the last four years of its life with an owner in Brescia. During this time the 1900C was restored and repainted in

Rosso Matador

and fitted with a new beige interior with dark brown piping. It is important to note that this car is fitted with a non-original but correct Tipo 1308 engine and is also accompanied by an unrestored spare engine block. This beautiful Pinin Farina coupe would make a stunning complement to any sporting collection.

En 1951, Alfa Romeo a présenté un nouveau modèle basé sur un moteur 4-cylindres en ligne 2 litres. La 1900 était disponible avec un empattement standard, court ou long, la version 1900 C se comportant admirablement dans les épreuves du Championnat d'Italie des voitures de sport. Alors que la plupart des exemplaires ont reçu une carrosserie Touring, un petit pourcentage a été habillé par Pinin Farina en coupé "fastback". Mais quelle que soit la version, la 1900 est à l'origine de multiples victoires en compétition et, par conséquent, elle est considérée comme une des Alfa Romeo qui méritent le plus d'être collectionnées.

Cette 1900 C de la fin de la Série I a bénéficié d'une longue existence entre des mains italiennes. Comme le montrent de nombreuses inscriptions à l'Auto Club d’Italia ("Estratto Cronologico"), cette voiture (châssis n°01422) a reçu en septembre 1953 un Certificat d'Origine et a ensuite connu toute une chaîne de propriétaires italiens, pendant plusieurs dizaines d'années. La voiture a pris part aux Mille Miglia Storica et, ces quatre dernières années, elle appartenait à un amateur de Brescia. Pendant cette période, elle a été restaurée et repeinte en

Rosso Matador

, tout en recevant une nouvelle sellerie beige avec passepoils marron foncé. Il est important de noter que cette voiture est équipée d'un moteur Tipo 1308 qui n'est pas d'origine mais qui correspond au type correct, et qu'elle est accompagnée d'un bloc moteur de rechange, non restauré. Ce superbe coupé Pinin Farina constituera un apport superbe à toute collection de voitures de sport.
