Making good on the claim that the Alfa Romeo 1900 was the “family car that wins races”, in 1954 the marque released a new, more potent version of the model. The engine bore was increased by two millimetres, upping displacement to 1,975 cc, and twin-Solex carburettors were installed, all resulting in the new Super Sprint Coupé producing 115 horsepower.

This example, chassis “01804”, is one of a around 480 second-series 1900 C Super Sprint Coupés bodied by Touring. According to its accompanying Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificato di Origine—which also confirms its matching-numbers chassis and engine—the car was produced on 30 May 1954 and sold in Vicenza on 29 October of the same year. It was registered with the licence plate “VI 28087”, which it still wears. The Classiche certificate also verifies that the car left the Alfa Romeo factory in Bianco Avorio, which it retains today. This Super Sprint Coupé was restored to a high standard in 2019, with the work completed by a leading restorer in northern Italy. The work not only involved a bare-metal repaint, but also an interior retrim and engine rebuild, leaving the car in the stunning condition in which it is presented here.

An impressive selection of images documents the car’s rotisserie restoration, while the car is also accompanied by supporting documentation from RIAR (Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo), Alfa Romeo Museo Storico, further to its historical Estratto Cronologico papers that list its limited number of owners from new. Should its next owner wish to take advantage of its Mille Miglia eligibility, there can be fewer better ways to take in the beautiful surroundings of Italy than from behind the wheel of this thrilling Alfa Romeo.
