In 1954, Alfa Romeo gave its popular 1900 platform a sporty twist, creating the Super Sprint Coup. 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 Coup had been made.
As detailed in a letter from Alfa Romeos 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 Societ 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.
