This stunning First-series, right-hand drive Alfa 1900 C (C for Corto) Sprint Series 1 Type 1 by Carrozzeria Touring), is one of 270 examples ever built and one of just six Right Hand Drive examples ever built, making this an exceptionally rare 1900.
The documentation on file from Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo confirms this is a factory Right Hand Drive.
The Alfa Romeo is finished in an attractive and original Grigio Marina with a lovely Black leather interior and Borrani wired wheels.
This Alfa Romeo has been most of its life in Australia.
The first known Australian owner was Mr. Colin Hyams and later Mr. Terry Valmorbida, who is a prolific collector of Italian cars.
On the 18th. of September 1989 the car was purchased by Mr. Alf Barbagallo a former racing car driver in Perth, Western Australia and owner of Barbagallo Motors.
He later sold it to Mr. Don Mason in North Melbourne, Australia.
Mr. Mason sold the car in 1990 to its next owner Mr. Tony Coates in Northern Victoria. He owned the Alfa till 2015 and sold it to a Mr. Nick Pane.
Subsequently the car went back to Europe and was purchased by a Dutch gentleman and registered in the Netherlands in 2017.
The gentlemen who bought the Alfa in 2017 is still the owner of the car.
We know this gentlemen since many years and during the years he built an extremely impressive collection of cars.
If we think of his collection we can only conclude that he is very precise and keen on quality and reliability. He restores and maintains his cars without looking at expenses. Quality is more important then costs.
Therefore, we can say that this Alfa is very well maintained over the years.
Since 2019 the gentlemen used the Alfa on a regular basis and successfully participated in the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Mille Miglia.
In the history file there are a number of pictures showing the car competing at the Mille Miglia.
This rare Alfa Romeo 1900 C comes with FIVA Class Passport and the Mille Miglia Registro Certificate. The Mille Miglia Registro is the official Certifying Body that registers and certifies all cars that are eligible to enter the Mille Miglia.
CONDITION EXTERIOR
The paint retains a strong depth of colour and nice gloss finish.
The colour really suits the car and emphasises all of Touring’s sculptured lines and curves. The more you look at the car the more details you notice!
It all starts at the front, which features the ornate Alfa Romeo grille and air intakes which are encased by beautiful curved body lines.
The sinuous lines continue towards the rear of the car where the sweeping roof line flows down to the boot and the very elegant tail section.
The exterior of the car is very nice. The car has driven several Mille Miglia’s and received a beautiful patina.
All the glass and lenses on the car are in a very nice condition even as the paint and chrome / aluminium parts. Not in new condition but very nice.
CONDITION INTERIOR
The interior of the Alfa has benefit from a retrim in the Netherlands in 2021. Invoices are available on file.
Due to the careful use of the current owner the interior still is in a beautiful condition.
The seats are period correct re-trimmed and the headlining is in a wonderful condition.
Also the carpets are fully restored and still in a beautiful condition.
The dashboard has kept it’s original / since new appearance with a fantastic patina.
An extra rally tripmeter can be found on the dashboard but this meter can easily be taken out when requested.
DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The 1.9 litre engine sounds superb and has never ever failed to start during the last Mille Miglia’s.
Once the engine is running the car has a raspy exhaust note with that typical Alfa Romeo pedigree evident.
The engine sounds strong and idles nicely.
Out on the open road this Alfa Romeo is a fun car to drive. It is a very early fifties car and quite well ahead of its time in terms of the drive. The car feels solid and it is quite responsive.
The steering is direct and the car handles exactly the way you expect from an Alfa Romeo of this era. Needles to say the car also has a real presence on the road.
Please note, this vehicle is sold for a customer on commission base.
