In 1950 when Alfa Romeo launched their all-new unit bodied 1900, unprecedented demand for the innovative and stylish car immediately propelled Alfa Romeo into larger more profitable markets. By 1953 technical and performance improvements successfully challenged more powerful and costly competitors. The newly developed dual overhead cam alloy-head four cylinder engine featured hemispherical combustion chambers, dual carburetors, and floor shift five speed transmissions, which also came with different gear ratios and "Alfin" self-adjusting rear brakes. The CSS variants (referred to as Tipo 2 or Series Il) were formidable performers.

Success in the Targa Florio, the Stella Alpina and the Coupe des Alpes, earned Alfa Romeo the slogan "The Family Car That Wins Races". Many of the finest Italian coachbuilders designed and built bodies for the 1900 in a range of stunning configurations, further cementing the 1900 as one of the leading platforms among European cars of the 1950s.

Touring Carrozeria's patented Superleggera (super lightweight) construction employed on the 1900 utilized a formed steel sub-frame, cleverly enveloped by a lightweight aluminum skin. In the Touring design, the refined upper body, delicately garnished pillar construction, and forward swept side glass combined visual purity and refined elegance in a very capable road car. The light and airy upper canopy cleverly concealed space for two additional passengers or additional luggage in the rear seating area. During the entire four year run, Alfa Romeo produced just 854 1900 C Super Sprint models with various coachwork including the lovely 3-window Touring body on this car.

This particular example was the subject of a high quality restoration by a previous owner some years ago and still maintains a very cohesive cosmetic patina. The combined visual qualities and satisfying mechanical harmony create a well-resolved car for enjoyable driving. Recent mechanical work under last ownership includes rebuilding the brakes and master cylinder, wheel cylinders, a oil change, gearbox and differential oil, and a tune up including dialing in the twin Solex carburetors and adjusting the valves. The last US owner specifically had this service work performed so that he could attend Monterey Car Week in 2018. The numbers-matching twin cam engine was professionally rebuilt prior to the purchase from Fantasy Junction 2015.

Today, the car presents as a very capable touring car with confidence-inspiring mechanical condition and attractive cosmetics that still encourage driving. The black paint is glossy throughout showing minor swirls and minor evidence of use and age, but overall representing a high driver level finish. All panels display good fit throughout the car with the passenger's side door being slightly proud or the rear fender edge. The black paint creates a vivid contrast against the delicate chrome and polished trim, while the glass, lenses, windshield and expansive glass are clear and show only mild signs of mellowing. The Borrani wire wheels affixed with chrome plated dual-ear knock offs, create a performance touch against the large drum brake castings. The Touring emblems, coachwork badges, and carefully fit trim are all in excellent condition, quietly boasting of the combined Touring and Alfa Romeo Italian design and engineering heritage.

The two-tone grey leather and cloth interior was restored some time ago and now proudly wears the patina of joyful use while still reflecting the quality materials selected during restoration. The textured black instrument panel blends in smoothly with the gloss black dash finish as the array of beautifully contrasting instruments, detailed controls, and accent plates elegantly display the artistry of this period. The sculpted gloss black steering wheel is complemented by the column shifter, an appropriately vintage detail, which is very much in keeping with Italian road cars of this era, and somewhat atypical for being a 5-speed column shift. Overall, the interior exhibits a high quality and comfortable feel, offering attention to detail, refined craftsmanship, and just the right amount of patina.

The engine compartment was restored to a high level and still retains handsome detailing, correct hardware, proper fasteners, and ...
