The Alfa Romeo 1900 succeeded the 6C 2500, whose design dated back to before the Second World War, and was based on a monocoque structure rather than a body on a chassis. It was unveiled on 2 October 1950 in Milan. The car, designed entirely under the supervision of Orazio Satta Puliga, featured many refined technical developments. The ‘heart’ of the Alfa Romeo 1900 was its engine. With this new model, the Milanese manufacturer abandoned six- and eight-cylinder engines in favour of engines that avoided additional taxation. However, Alfa Romeo tradition was respected with the presence of a light alloy cylinder head, two overhead camshafts and hemispherical combustion chambers. The Alfa Romeo 1900 was presented to the press on 2 October 1950 at the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan. The official launch took place at the Paris Motor Show in October of the same year. From 1952, when the production lines became fully operational, a TI (Turismo Internazionale) version was introduced to meet the demands of sporty customers who wanted to compete in races in this category. A total of 478 examples of the 1900 Super Ti were built between 1954 and 1957. It succeeded the TI (100 horsepower and 1884 cc) with an increased displacement of 1957 cc and a peak power of 115 horsepower thanks to two twin-barrel SOLEX carburettors and a specific exhaust developed by Abarth. It is eligible for the Mille Miglia, the Tour Auto, the Targa Florio, the Panamericana, the Monte Carlo Historique, etc. To date, it seems that fewer than 10 examples remain in the world. The car was built in May 1955 and delivered directly to France (certificate of origin from Alfa Romeo). Its first owner
