Provenance
At the end of WWII, Alfa Romeo thought it was time to replace the glorious dynasty of the 6C. The car was entirely designed under the supervision of Orazio Satta Puliga. It was the “Alfona” for the most, the “Pantera” for excellence, “the family car that wins the races” in the slogans. She was much loved and also very feared. The Alfa Romeo 1900 was built between 1950 and 1959. It was the first Alfa Romeo built entirely on an assembly line, starting the high-quality mass production at the Portello. First monocoque production car and the first Alfa Romeo with left-hand drive. A 4-cylinder fractioning allowed a lower taxation. Heads were still in light alloy, with two overhead camshafts and hemispherical chambers. Giuseppe Busso opted for an independent double wishbones front suspension. The first road exit took place on March 2, 1950 with Consalvo Sanesi driving. The shape was the result of a refining by Orazio Satta Puliga and Antonio Alessio, then Alfa Romeo general manager. He consulted Gaetano Ponzoni, of the Touring that suggested significant finishing touches. The gear lever by the steering wheel allowed two three-seater sofas. The dashboard had a large semi-circular speed indicator with oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge on each side. The 1900 four-door sedan was the only model available until the introduction of the 1900C coupe in 1951 and the TI saloon in 1952, it was equipped with a 1.9-liter engine that delivered 90 hp and reached a top speed of 171 km/h. Production ceased in 1959 with a total of 17,243 cars produced in the various models.
L’auto
The 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900 sedan, chassis AR02163 has interiors redone as well as the chrome plating. Bodywork in good condition, some interventions are to be foreseen to make it perfect. Mechanics overhauled in many parts and in perfect working order. History entirely reconstructable with chronological excerpt. The first owner was a company in Genova that used it, presumably, for official purposes and for the management. Several changes of ownership following, then the car arrived in San Marino losing, unfortunately, the original Italian plates. It was then reimported to Italy and re-registered. The car has the original radio and original rubber mats. Use and maintenance manual in photocopy.State of the ArtRestored, some parts preserved. Details can be perfected for Concours conditions.
